Got my first Cover!

I was hooking up some shooting for the next weeks bicycle race activities and the publisher asked if I'd seen the current issue. I hadn't and he informed me that I had the cover. Yippee! It's not a big magazine and the pay will be rather small. But I'm pretty excited. I wasn't my best shot from the day -- but I guess it caught their eyes.

I've been a contributing photog since the first of the year and have had a dozen shots printed -- but this is the coolest.

But at least they're paying you something for your hard work. Tough to put gas in your tank with a 'photo credit'. :) Congrats on the cover shot.

Nice job! You say the pay will be small. Getting paid at all for mountain bike photos is an achievement. And it is always nice to see your work in print. Even if you aren't getting rich. Let's face it, we don't take mountain bike photos for the money. It's an obsession :)

CONGRATULATIONS Matt

Deserving photo

Super cool.

Hi Matt, You must be quite happy This is very good...keep up the effort.
