    Okay so I'm a wanna-be photographer (but all I've really done so far is spend too much on photography equipment and sell a few prints at art shows), with a never-visited flickr page and an intense love for the Pioneer Woman (love ree!!). For the 3 of you out there who might not know, she is a super famous blogger who is beautiful, a wonderful cook, and a great photographer.

    Sometimes she calls for reader photos of a specific topic, then she will choose a selection of them to display every day and she will pick winners from each group. This week's request was for sunset photos, and she got HUNDREDS (I think thousands even). Well, today in the very first! group! is my photo and I'm so excited I could burst. Not only that, but when you go to her main page and her tabs cycle through each area of her website, MY photo is the one she picked to represent the photo tab for the day. EEK!! 

    Okay maybe I'm a huge dork but the idea that thousands of people are looking at my photo today makes me all kinds of squishy happy inside! this is probably the most people as will ever see a photo of mine! (I'm Clerksgrl btw)

    Edited to add: the photo i submitted is my favorite sunset photo from the beach where FI and I got engaged... yay!

    Don't worry.  You're not as dorky as me.  I freaked when I was mentioned on www.bacontoday.com

    thanks everyone!!

    @guffee- ummm that would be a bad idea! hehe. What I really love is fine art prints to sell, although I am just starting to get into portrait work. It will be YEARS before I even consider doing a wedding because I don't want to suck! heh

    How awesome is that?!?!  I loooove PW, and I know I'd freak out if she featured one of my photos.  Congrats!  You should advertise with that - "The Pioneer Woman loves these pics, you will too!"  Smile
