    Getting published...

    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.

    That is awesome!

    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!

    How to tell the most experienced shooter in a group? They have the least amount of toys on them.

    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.

    The centerfold, no less!

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

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

    Congrats, Charles. The secret to these kinds of opportunities is learning to apply your photographic abilities to everyday situations as they appear.

    Well done...
