who would have 'thunk'? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

billboard (for blog)


Yep, one of my color photos of the Tetons will soon appear on a billboard just off of I-15 and I-20 (for you locals)! I hardly ever pay attention to billboards (well maybe some of the clever ones) but now the Teton mountain range is going to hit you in the face as you get off the freeway to I.F. - how funny is that? We'll (my assistant and I) travel and get a photo of it when they get it up. It's at the billboard designer as we speak - and I'm pretty much speechless at this point! It's for the 'regional tourism' campaign - trying to catch people off the freeway, on their way to Yellowstone, to stop and visit other local points of interest! She asked if I had a suggestion for a slogan for the campaign - she said it had to be short and sweet. I thought a second (while she was talking) and I said yeah I do, "How about . . . . . "COME!" I think she went with it - but we'll see when the actual ad comes out! They also want to buy 20-30 other photos of our area for brochures and travel shows around the country.

Okay, someone wake me up from this dream . . . . come to think of it, Shhhhhhhhh, I'm sleeping!!!!!!!

(Note: please don't think I'm boasting, as I'm extremely humbled by all this 'stuff' going on - but remember, this is my journal and I'm just getting it down for posterity AND I ALWAYS, ALWAYS want to THANK my trusty-assistant who gets me where I need to go!)

That is Super that they have selected your art work. You should be very thrilled that someone other than your family is admiring your artistic ability. Keep up the good work.

You are much to humble!!! I can't wait to visit so I can see the billboard and the photos on campus.
