    Default I'm in Lake Erie Liviing Magazine

    I don't normally enter photo contests, but last year a local magazine
    held a contest. Winners got to appear in a future issue of the magazine
    (Lake Erie Living). So I figured, what the heck.

    Well I was notified in December that I won first prize. The editor emailed
    me and congratulated me on the image. The problem was, I entered three
    images. So I had no idea which one won :)

    It was one of my gull images. She told me the judges loved seeing the bird
    as it was just landing. I didn't have the heart to tell her that it was actually
    just drying itself off.

    Then I was interviewed. Told the guy I was a bird photographer. What does
    he put in the magazine? Amphibious photographer. UGH. Oh well, at least I
    know how to spell amphibious now :)

    So if you're in the Cleveland area, the issue is out now. Looks like its
    carried mostly in CVS, Walgreen's and Giant Eagles.

    Congratulations Doug! I'll look for the magazine tonight. Amphibious photographer...hmmmm, does that mean you can photograph in the water and on land?

    Big congratulations, Doug! Beautiful photo!

    Not sure how you get "Amphibious photographer" out of "bird photographer." That's a real head scratcher.

    What can I say? Reporters. They always know more :)

    What's funny is, I can't even swim :)
