First: I will admit that someone did guess my little secret. But that’s all I’m sayin.
Second: I have to completely brag on the husband because he’s awesome…in the eyes of National Geographic.
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!!!!!!!
(Sorry, that’s like, you should be totally excited. We’re all sharing in this experience together)
(It’s a screen shot…so you’ll know which picture to look for if you’re all supportive-like and click on it. He’s in the nature category…under one of the weeks in August…it usually pops up under August Week 2, but the pictures randomly change…I even bolded the important parts and hyperlinked the picture for you. Cause I’m nice like that)
He entered a few photo contests a couple of months ago…I finally convinced him that his pictures were just as good as the previous winners and professional photographers. I mean, I think his pictures are incredible. I know, I’m biased but…that’s not the point. Last night, I decided to check out Nat Geo’s website to see when the photo contest ended, ran across the gallery of editor’s picks…started clicking through and then was all, “HONEY! YOU’RE WINNING! YOU’RE WINNING!! THEY PICKED YOU!!” I mean, technically he hasn’t won (yet)…but I mean, getting picked by the editors has to count for something, right?
And you’re all totally privileged. You get to see his little gallery…before he wins or something. Then once he’s like, Mr. Famous Photographer, you can be all, “I knew him when…he had to post his pictures on his wife’s blog.”
You know…if he becomes more famous than me…well shit. I do not have a contingency for that scenario.
All he has to do is take pictures in beautiful, serene locations…the hell? I write in a fucking box and get tossed a few saltines every few hours by Crazy One-Eyed Mervin all, “DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT RESURFACING UNTIL IT’S PERFECT.”
That’s kind of shitty, if you ask me.
I mean, not that I wouldn’t be happy for him…I’d just need equal notoriety.
I’m probably acting immature.
Maybe I’ll call today Fuck It Friday.
That’s a BEAUTIFUL photo. I’ll definitely watch for it when my issue comes. Thanks.
He’s an amazing photographer! Congrats to him!
Yeah Tim!
GO MR BOOSHY!
What a cracking photo.
A disgrace if he doesn’t win.
Congratulations Tim!
Oooh Oooh – did I guess it right?
That’s most fantastic. I love his pictures
What a beautiful photo! Being a photographer I’d kill to be selected by any editor
Go Tim!! That’s amazing good news! What if he wins, you finish your novel and it gets published?! Then you’re both famous and rewarded for your creative efforts!! But then what if a meteor crashes into earth and we all die? Hmmm…i may be seriously sleep deprived.
Congrats to the Hubs!! I hope he wins!
♥Spot
Wow, Congrats to both you and Tim! I include you in the congratulations because everyone knows that behind a great man is an even greater woman… Although I have never heard that statement reversed, so i suppose if you get famous, you get all the credit for yourself ; )
Just kidding of course – that’s a gorgeous photo! Hopefully he is basking in the praise : )
Hey, that’s awesome! I love National Geographic. Congrats Tim, great picture!
Those Rock!
That picture is GREAT!
That’s awesome. What a gorgeous photo.
Uh-May-Zing! (People who spell that shit out instead of using the real word are kind of annoying, but I wanted you to know how impressed I really am.) The photo is beautiful and certainly worthy of all the praise.
So incredible!! That is SO AWESOME!!
Woohoo! Huge congrats. But I still think he’s small potatoes compared to you
That is a bad-ass picture! OMG! I am so impressed. AWE-some! Congrats to Tim.
Here’s another cracker, gremlin – it’s a RITZ!! Now get back to your box and shut the smuck up. HA!
That’s my way of getting you to win NAMO, so you will BOTH be winners, yeah, yeah, thank me later.
Go Tim! That is awesome. I love that picture. I wish I could pull stuff out like that. Amazing and congrats to him!
Congrats to yall! But remember the small people! Beautiful picture btw, he’s got some major talent.
I’ll bet Tim just LOVES being called Mr. Booshy!
So, what was the secret? I’m dense. It’s been a rough week…
great picture!
you 2 do realize that us stalkers now know your full names (the smart ones to anyway)…run and hide!!! oh wait, that’s what you are doing already to write your novel. you’re on the safe side then i guess
franzi
that is an absolutely stunning picture, and wow! good for tim.
don’t worry, darling, we’ll all still love you just as much as we do now, even if tim gets *way* more famous and you start being referred to as “that photographer’s wife”.
Congrats! I hopped over and the picture is stunning. Did he also write the caption? It was very nicely written. It IS a big deal getting chosen by the editors to be presented on their website. Do you have any idea how many photos are entered in these contests? Well, me neither. But I assume TONS. Photographers are all starving artists, there is no way they won’t cease this opportunity, that’s what desperation will do to you… Btw, I have a great idea for you two to share equal notoriety as you demanded: Tim Taking Nekkid Photos of Jessica. You are welcome.
OMG. I need to hit the sack. It is supposed to be “seize” as in “seize the day”, and not “cease” as in “cease fire”. THIS has nothing to do with me not being a native speaker…
that is such a stunning photo!!!!
“The desire to capture a sunrise over Jackson Lake was instead replaced by a fleeting moment of nature’s pure beauty that only migrating elk and early birds typically have the joy of experiencing. Timing is critical and it is rare to have your camera at-the-ready during a brief moment of cooperation from each of nature’s elements before all vanishes behind the snow-capped horizon.”
Soundtrack: Let it be, let it be, let it be, oh let it be.
Whisper words of Wisdom, let it be.
Congrats to Tim! That photo is absolutely stunning! You should of course take some credit, you are the power behind the throne right? Of course you are. So, in reality, he couldn’t have done it without you. So congrats to you too
***to everyone…for sending your awesome congratulatory notes***
Thank you!! Now Tim actually believes he knows how to take a picture…yay! One less daily battle. Oh, he says thank you, also. He was completely blown away with the support…I mean, how often does “Mr. Booshy” (LOVE THAT Miss. Cherry Red!) get props?”
Incredibly awesome… I’m so incredibly jealous!! I just figured out how now to cut heads off when I take pictures!! LOL!!
I finally found it and it’s just amazing!! You are both so talented.
