The Day it Happened

I suppose for every famous person, there was a particular day where they moved from mediocrity to spectacularity...and for me that day was today.

I am now famous. Get used to it. I am a published photographer.

While driving in Oklahoma, I spotted a sign in front of a mechanic that read "No more credit for anyone." I snapped a picture.

On a regular basis, I read the blog Consumerist.com. It is like Consumer Reports for extremely young, hip, exciting people like me.

They maintain a pool of photographs on Flickr, and so I submitted mine into the pile. I believe there are millions.

And today, they used it as the picture for an article. And credited me "eakirkland". You can see this here.

I have not heard yet how much I will be getting paid, or when they will need some more photos. For now, I am just basking in the success.
