Something from Schmap
A couple of years ago, we went to Copenhagen, Denmark. We had a great time there. And of course, I took literally hundreds of photographs. It didn't go unnoticed. A company in Denmark who does the tourist pamphlets spotted some of my photos of Denmark on Flickr, and wanted to use some of them for their brochures. I told them that was fine as long as I was given credit for the photo. They did, and my photos of Copenhagen are now part of their city brochures.
Then I got this email...
Hi Bill,
Back in 2007, you kindly gave us permission to include your credited photo in our Schmap Copenhagen Guide.
This is just a quick note to let you know that Schmap Guides have now been released for the iPhone and iPod touch.
Best regards...
Here is the result. My photo on the iPhone is the upper left photo. Pretty cool. Boy, you never know where your photos will end up.






That is so cool.
BTW, you inspired me to take up photography. I bought a camera and I've started taking photos.
Here's my Flickr URL:

Don't laugh. I really just started a few days ago. I've never owned a real camera before in my life.
It has been a very rewarding hobby, although I've just been too busy lately with work to do much. But, we are going to New Zealand in December so I'm sure that will give me a lot to work with.
I will just tell you, it is a seductive hobby. There's always more equipment you need, and that equipment is usually quite expensive.
I hope you enjoy your new hobby!
