as part of a book, with photo credit. I think more images are to follow. This image is of a room in my workplace...life-sized, bronze statues of the signers of the U.S.Constitution. Spectacular room, diificult to shoot, with 42 statues in the room. Tripod used, mix of window light and small halogen bulbs in the ceiling. I used the C-8080(they wanted digital) to give me a 23Mb file. Thanks for looking.

Wow! Congrats!

Do you know what the name of the book is? And when it will be available in stores?

That is awesome!

Congratulations, and be sure to give us more details when you get them. (Name of the book, when it's coming out, etc)

Congrads! It looks like a tough room to shoot, but this is a great image. It has a lot of depth and draws you into it. Good work!

See? Mr. Fancypants!

Outstanding image Charles - congratulations!

Danielle

Congratulations. That is very exciting. Looks like you work in an interesting place. Let us know when the book comes out. Maybe you can do a book signing.

Work it Charles!
So where do you work then?
Thanks for sharring!

Now that is something to be proud of!! Beautiful layout, great shot. I would leave that on my coffee table, always open to that page..."accidentally" of course. ;)

Thanks, all...I haven't seen the whole layout, but I found out today that they want another shot of the outside of the building for the book, as well. The posted pic is the center spread. Brian, I'm at the National Constitution Center, in the historic area of Philadelphia...museum with 350-seat theater in round w/ pro actor and hi-tech multi-media, and artifacts ranging from writings by Washington to a piece of the World Trade Center. My favorite exhibit...the Watergate break-in tools that were used as evidence against Liddy & crew. The statues are amazing, as is the whole place. Fun place to work... check out www.constitutioncenter.org if any interest.

How appropriate for a photographer who also excels at glamour shots. :)

Congratulations! Creative solution to the tough-to-shoot room, works really well.
