Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to get some money for it, but I'd love even more to have one of my photographs published in an advertisement.

    It's been a while since I've posted here. I havn't picked up my camera in ages. I've been so busy putting together a new business, I probably won't touch it again for a while. Oh well, something to look forward to in the future.

    Congratulations! That really rocks!

    Like Seb said, be sure to get your money's worth. They've got deep pockets. ;-)

    I'd be willing to have them print it for free, but as you say, they have deep pockets. I should get some compensation for it. I'll see what I can get.
