Possible photo being published

[Edmund]

Hi every one. I have disappeared off the map for a month now due to reasons beyond my control. We had a few deaths in the family and three very close friends also died. Seems like all I did was attend wakes and funerals. One more tomorrow. Very sad month.
The bright spot in my life is that I submitted some images on the Nikonians site for possible inclusion in their upcoming book on the Nikon D-90. Two images of mine are in the finalists stage and either both , one or none could be the end result. If you look in my 365 blog at the Windmill shot and the Montauk Point lighthouse image these are in the running.
Wish me luck on this one. Today my wife and I needed some relaxation so we went for a long ride and I took my camera and took some shots. Hopefully after a month long respite I will again start my blog monster rolling along.
Eddie:)

I'm sorry too Eddie, how sad and tough. Best of luck on your images- I remember them both clearly and am sure they will make the cut. I'd wondered what was up ...

Edmund, I had missed seeing your blog posts and hoped you were well. I'm sorry to hear of your losses this past month and I hope time eases that pain.

The news of your photos, though, is exciting! Congratulations! Both are wonderful shots and worthy of inclusion in the book.
