My picture got published in the USA Today... today.

Stargazer · 04-25-2008, 09:53 PM

I was approached a couple of weeks ago to include one of my pictures in a full page ad for Subaru of America. It's part of a collage of other pictures they found on Flickr.

It was published today and will be republished again on Wednesday, April 30.

Mine is the b/w picture with the tracks in the snow. Here's the original picture:

WrxSTiJoe · 04-26-2008, 04:05 AM

yeah did you get any loot for it?

LSE · 04-26-2008, 04:22 AM

cool! too bad the actual add is typical subaru ad....boring!

Stargazer · 04-26-2008, 08:47 AM

Yeah, they paid me but it wasn't much. I'm just happy because I've never been paid before

. At least paying $25 for my Flickr account doesn't seem so bad anymore

.

Very nice. Nothing more exciting than seeing your car in print.

haroman311 · 04-26-2008, 09:38 AM

exactly, seeing your car in print is cool, but to have the auto manufacturer put it in has to be the best.

**WESTI** · 04-26-2008, 11:04 AM

i think ur picture is one of the best in there

Stargazer · 04-26-2008, 07:19 PM

Thanks! I thought it was interesting that out of all the pictures they chose, mine was probably one of the least "wholesome"

. I wonder who owns the Subaru in the other snow picture.

I found the owner of the gauge cluster picture (or rather, he found me):
