Check it, wreck it, and let's begin. About a month ago I received an email from Emma Williams, the Managing Editor at Schmap Guides - a leading publisher of digital travel guides for destinations throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. She had informed me that one of my photos - published on Flickr - was short listed for inclusion in their Seattle Guide, and that I needed to officially submit my photo along with my approval for its use.

I remember taking a second to review the photo that they were inquiring about, and because I had no problems with donating it, I filled out the required information online. Here is the picture that was nominated:

Nice, isn't it? This was taken at a Seattle Mariners game in which my fiancée and I attended back in June. Schmap was looking to use the photo as a way to promote Safeco Field within their online Seattle guide.

Well, it turns out that this photo, in addition to a few others that were also submitted, actually made the final cut and is now published in the fifth edition of the Schmap Seattle Guide. Go figure.

You can check out my photo within the guide here. My photo and credit is on the top right of the page, as shown here:
