Okinawa Living “Parting Shot”

4 Apr

In the April 2009 issue of Okinawa Living magazine I was lucky enough to have one of my photos published as part of their new "Parting Shot" segment. This is my third photo published in the last year and I am really excited.

Since arriving in Okinawa in the summer of 2006 I have been fascinated by the professionalism and quality of work that the Okinawa Living magazine delivers on a monthly basis. The photography has always been top notch and is one of the main reasons behind me buying my first camera in 2008.

Here is a look at the photo as it appeared in the magazine.

I would really like to thank John Burgreen for getting my photo in the magazine.You can find his amazing photos in almost every issue of Okinawa Living. Also, make sure you check out OkinawaHDR.com which was created by the people over at Okinawa Living. You can join and share some of your favorite photos of Okinawa.

Many people have emailed me and asked how exactly did I go about getting my image in the magazine. Well, one option is to email the editor at michael.daley[at]okinawa.usmc-mccs.org.  Another option is to make sure your photography is available for others to find online by joining and publishing your photos on websites like OkinawaHDR.com, and flickr . There are plenty of online communities for photographers.

Just get out and shoot as much as possible while you are here in Okinawa!
