Brag : Photo in Magazine

[pippin]

So I got word today that one of my photos will be in the November issue of Glamour magazine about female voters that don't meet the 'typical' demographic.

Can't wait to see it :)

sure. Its this one.




Little backstory I guess should be in order. A friend of mine who has graciously let me use her horse for 'therapy' as I like to call it (with all my back issues going off and taking photos of him and being around the horses makes me very calm and relaxed and takes my energy off my pain for a while). Sent me a message on facebook asking if she could use it. I said sure as long as I get a credit for the image. Asked her what the article will be about :

"It's an article on women voters between 20 and 40 who have some sort of surprising "twist" to who they're voting for. Like military women voting for Obama, or college-aged women voting for Ron Paul.

Really, it's me snagging an opportunity to plug my employer in a national magazine-- the social marketer in me won't pass up the chance-- but I'm also excited about the second time I'll be featured in the media for my political activism. I was also in the Rocky Mountain News in a front page article about Colorado voters writing letters to superdelegates asking for their support.

My "twist" is that I'm a white, pantsuit-wearing feminist with Jewish heritage-- ie, Hillary's ideal young voter-- but I'm for Obama because I've done his first job (community organizer) and it is HARD! I only lasted 3 months, so I have to respect someone who did that long-term so much more than someone who was a lawyer all their life."
