I mentioned here before that a photo of mine made it into the national book of the America 24/7 project. As if that's not exciting enough, I happened on this article about the project from the August 12th edition of Newsday. Here's a snip with some incredible news:

The competition was stiff: Cohen said that in the final judging, only 32 amateur photos were selected. "But some were awfully good and will end up as double-page spreads," he said. Indeed, the first image in the book - a full-page shot of the Woolworth Building in lower Manhattan, shrouded in fog - was made just after midnight on the first day of the project by amateur Michael Lee of New York City.

I'm beyond excited that my photo is the first image after the cover.
