My Children Lost the Chance to Appear in Magazine
Child August 15th, 2011I have always wanted my boys to appear on TV or Magazines. I wanted them to be famous, in a way. Well, on TV they did ~ Playhouse Disney Birthday Book. *giggle*
But the chance to appear on Magazines never came until few months ago, when I had a surprise email from Canon PhotoYou, a photography magazine, she said:
“While doing research, I found the attached photo on your website, “All About Your Child”.
We are very interested in publishing it in our magazine, under the section “From Another Angle”, where we feature unique photos of tourist attractions around the world.”
So which photos were she talking about?
They were these photos from the blog post back in 19th December 2008 “Merlion – Singapore’s Icon”
But the shots were taken back in 2008 and I had lost the original copies of them when my Personal Computer crashed on me in 2009. But we do print out our photos on photopapers all the time, see blog post “Kudos“.
So she suggested that I pass her the printed copies to see if the resolution was ‘good enough’ to be printed on their magazine.
Failed.
When she returned the photos back to me, she gave me a copy of the issue which my boys were supposed to be featured in:
*Super Cry* What a Waste!!!
