National Geographic Magazine - April, 2010 Issue

I received my preview issue today from the printers. My shot of a water strider from last fall made its way to the departmental sectional (Science) of NGM.

This issue should start hitting newstands and mailboxes in a couple days.

awesome, moving up from the monthly photo to an actual article!

Nothing wrong with that Ken. That's why we have the Facebook fan page. As long as you saw it and came to congratulate Loupey :)

Fantastic! You've been published to NG.

People just think I work for 'em.

Great work! Congratulations.

That is awesome and deserved!

Are you having any difficulty keeping your feet on the ground?

WAY TO GO, congrats Loupey. Have to get my copy.

I thank you all tremendously for your comments!

It's taken 15 months of working with the nice folks at NG (and they are extremely nice/professional people there) to get this far with this third image for them. In the meantime, an editor for a different national magazine contacted me out of the blue to do some freelance work for them. I have an even larger project in the works that I hope will come together very soon.

So I suppose the moral of the story is to keep perservering and keep being "out there". A site like this one is a terrific place to start and I commend Photo-John and everyone here for keeping the site fresh, friendly, and fun.

Heading out the door now with a trunk full of suits and clothes for a 3 hour drive to a set of an all day commercial shoot. Will be back tomorrow.

Thanks again.

This is tremendous news. Your talent and persistence has paid off. and I never saw a water strider look so good. : )

Congrats! Excellent work, and so very well deserved, Loupey. All the best, much success to you.

Good for ya! congrats!

Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loupey!

I remember this one from an earlier posting -- excellent image, and definitely looks like it belongs on the pages of NG.
