Ninjatune™ 16-Bit Bum Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: 612 Wharf Posts: 6,933	Urban Fabric Photography on Broadway Hi everyone... Just had a bit of good news to share.. Taken last year, the image below has been selected by the City of Dallas to represent big D this holiday season in a feature brought to you by the good folks at ABC. It will be blown up on a large 'window size' transparency and displayed on the exterior windows of the ABC studios overlooking Broadway. Dallas will be 1 of only 4 cities featured. At any rate, if you're in NYC over the next couple months, keep an eye out for it ...and please snap a pic! __________________ . . . . . . . .ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

You deserve to be very proud to have your work featured so prominently in New York. Though I doubt that I will ever develop my photographic skills as you have, your work does serve as an inspiration, and I thank you for that. __________________ My Flickr Photos My YouTube videos My Farscape site

i have an idea, but need to confirm a few things with my printers first.

i need to find out how the dimensions will affect cost and decide on a final size...

once i get everything squared away, i'll shot you a PM.. forum members obviously get the hookup. (;

cool man, i'll only be offering one size though.. length will be around 30 at the very least..

i'd like this first run to be a limited number of identical prints to commemorate the occasion..

i'll be able to start taking orders when i get all the details hammered out..

CityLove Formerly Trolleygirl2 Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: I heart downtown Posts: 1,279	I saw the unveiling, then later when they talked to the designer and the guy from the CVB. Plus I got it on tape (yes, I still use VHS). I'm pretty sure I recognized the picture, though it wasn't really in "picture" form. Unfair Park has some pictures of the window, sent to them from ABC. __________________ I tell everyone...I smile just because...I've got a city love...
