Selected for 500px.com’s Editor’s Choice!

I just learned that my Blastoff image has been selected as a 500px.com Editor’s Choice. (You can see the image on 500px here.) I am very, very excited that my image was selected The quality of the work on 500px is outstanding, and only a handful of images are selected as Editor’s Choices each week. Wow!!!

500px also added my image to their daily “live journal” of notable images.

Update: according to 500px’s congratulatory e-mail, they select less than 0.03% of images on their site as an editor’s choice. I know this is a shamless brag, but I’m very excited to have so many people enjoying my work.

Another Crazy Wildlife Photographer

Andrew — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 04:22:37 +0000

Seems an unnamed Canadian wildlife photographer decided to spend the winter by himself in the wilderness, but didn’t bring enough food to last until spring:

A wildlife photographer who planned to spend the winter living in a remote trailer in the wilderness of northeastern B.C. narrowly escaped starving to death after he failed to pack enough provisions.

Hudson’s Hope RCMP say the 42-year-old man was trapped for more than two weeks without food in the Carbon Creek area near Williston Lake.

Police and rescue volunteers found the hungry man on Feb. 1, about 36 kilometres from the W.A.C. Bennett Dam, according to Hudson’s Hope RCMP Cpl. Darren Woroshelo.

“He’d misjudged the amount of provisions he’d need to make it through the winter. He’d been without food for, I believe, 17 days,” said Woroshelo.

I’m not sure who is crazier, this guy or the African photographer I blogged about earlier who caught three tropical diseases and risked being eaten by lions while immersing himself in a waterhole to photograph drinking animals. Outdoor photographers can be a odd bunch, but, wow.
