Really Really Really Psyched!!! - 09-22-2008, 04:46 PM


So, they are opening a new Patagonia store in Austin. I got a phone call from the photo editor there and they asked me to make a submission.... Long story short, they ended up choosing 2 of my images to put inside the store. One will be 4ft x 6ft and the other will be 5ft x 7ft. Apparently one will be right near the register, so it should get alot of eyes on it. WOOOOOOOOTTTTTT!!!!!! Here are the two images:

I know right... She's very pretty. Add hanging from the side of a cliff and you've got a wow image IMHO

Thanks everyone!

lol @ the shirt thing.... gee, I never thought about that.....

I was really excited when the wind started up and her hair started blowing around. I feel like it gives the image some sort of energy (hope I'm not sounding like a hippy here....)

It was my first submission to Patagonia, and they were really great to work with. Super nice people. Hope to work with them more in the future. I can't wait to see them in the store!!!

I want to know when they open and the images are there. I like visiting Austin so any excuse to go is a good one...

Some day we'll all be sitting around the computer generated campfire and someone will say "remember when Merrick posted those killer images". Someone else will say "yeah, those were the good ole days. Now he's a "rock star" and has no time for us wannabes." Someone else will chime in "lucky <bleep>" and then turn the monitor off... I mean put the campfire out
