Just thought I'd let folks know that I have been selected and have chosen to participate in the fall, 2011 (as my friend Keith says: shameless self publicity).

Had done some work there off and on BLF (Before LF) but last fall's LF efforts got me excited to go back and do it even better for the extended period of the program + maybe some additional time on my own. Submitted for it in January and was fortunate enough to be selected.

Get to make photographs on the govt's dime (at least partially) as well as get access to the entire park for the period. Also includes a show at the park headquarters after. Very much looking forward to it.

Guess I'm now a USDI Certified Artist!
