I'm a published photographer!

When I was traveling back in 2001, I obviously took lots of pictures, and then just chucked them all in to my Flickr account a few years ago.

Making all of them viewable by anybody paid off: I found out last week that my photo of a castle hostal I stayed in in Toledo, Spain was chosen to be in an online travel guide called Schmap. I guess they found it by doing a search for "Hostal Toledo" in Flickr, which is exactly what I named my picture.

Click on "Hostal Toledo" on the bottom half of the page here, and you can see my pic - including the credit line - at the top right.

How cool is that? Now that I look at the picture, I have to admit that it is pretty good. However, I also have to admit that this was purely by accident; I'm pretty sure I took the pic as an afterthought as I walked away from the hostal after checking out of it. Lest you think I am just being humble, I submit bad photo exhibit one also taken in Spain.

But, let's look at my famous piece one more time:
