A local publisher is putting out a book of poetry and photography from local artists next year, as part of the celebration of Pittsburgh's 250th birthday and I just found out that the two photographs I submitted have been accepted.
I'm not sure how big an honor it really is, because I have little idea of the quality of the publication and no idea at all yet of what other material they've accepted. The project does have some official backing from the county, so I'll take that as a little positive sign. They specified black & white photos (of course - this is to go with poetry, right?) and I sent two of my best, the Welsh Church Door and the Oak Tree with Vines. All I get out of it is a couple of copies of the book, so this isn't an honor that *pays* anything, but if it goes like most anthologies of poetry and photography, I'll probably end up ahead of the publishers, who are likely to *lose* money ;-) (P.S. The only reason I didn't submit any poetry is I couldn't find a place in the Pittsburgh area that rhymed with "Nantucket"...) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
