Published Photo For Twin Cities Daily Photo

One of my co-workers, Todd Swank, aka ShortArmGuy, brought in a newspaper from the Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle in Colorado. A friend of his had seen a photo of him in their newspaper, so he sent him a copy of it. Todd had no idea what photo it was, since he hadn't submitted anything to them before, nor heard of the newspaper. When he got a copy of it and looked at the articles, it turned out to be two photos that I had posted here on Twin Cities Daily Photo back in September of 2007. There was three of us posing after our Fantasy Football draft. Todd brought the newspaper in to show me, since it was one of my photos of him and myself posed in the photo. That's me in the red shirt, Todd is on the right, with another co-worker, Nick, in the center. The second page of the article has the other photo of mine, it's the one of several people gather around a bar during the nights draft.

This particular photo has gotten quite a lot of traction in the search engines for the past couple of years. It's currently number 7 in the Google Image search using the search term Fantasy Football. There is also photos of girls in bikini's if you don't want to see that, don't click the link. Being number 7 on the phrase Fantasy Football is really huge in the world of search engines. I'm sure it lead to my photo being published in the Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle.

We had our first major snow storm on Tuesday and into Wednesday. From what I heard, this snowstorm hit about two-thirds of the United States.

Maplewood Mall Courtyard

From my shopping trip on Black Friday to Maplewood Mall. This is the main courtyard with quite a few of the booth stores to visit or ignore as most do.

Xcel During Intermission

Took this photo during the intermission of one of the Minnesota Wild's hockey games. I was trying to capture all of the team flags, but with so much hanging from the ceilings, find that perfect shot was next to impossible.

Theme Day: Waiting

Greetings fellow CityDailyPhoto bloggers and returning guests as you make your way through December's 'Waiting' theme day photos. A unique theme day and quite unusual from our standard take a photo of your favorite 'fill in the blank'. The theme today requires the photo to resemble an action, to tell a story, if you will.

I'm using a contribution photo today from swc as my theme day photo selection. Seeing just the apples hanging there in the bare tree, just out of reach. Gravity will get the best of these apples, but how long will they stay up there?

To see additional theme day photos around the world, stop by the portal page for a convenient thumbnail view of all participants. As the time zone changes each hour, more photos will be added.
