Camel Closeup

So, it’s prob­a­bly not a big deal in real life, but I was rather excited to find a photo of mine fea­tured in a gallery on www.nowpublic.com. You can fol­low the link here Camel beauty pageant to be held in UAE. It’s a story about a camel beauty pageant, and there are a hun­dred other flickr pics up on it. Still, I can’t help but kvell over the whole thing.

Also, NowPublic seems like a pretty awe­some idea, here’s a blurb from their mis­sion statement:

In 2005 NowPublic became a rec­og­nized leader in the emerg­ing field of cit­i­zen jour­nal­ism. By har­ness­ing the wis­dom of crowds and tap­ping into the news cre­at­ing poten­tial of the hun­dreds of mil­lions of Internet users, blog­gers and pho­tog­ra­phy enthu­si­asts, NowPublic is chang­ing the way news is made and distributed.

Neat! Reporting by peo­ple who know. This is all going in the big ol’ scrap book.
