I’ve Been Published in Discover Magazine!

A couple of months ago I was contacted by the photo editor of the prestigious Discover Magazine, about the possible use of one of my photos – “Night sky over the Church of the Good Shepherd” – in a limited edition special of their magazine, on astronomy. I asked them “How would you like it?” :)
I have been sitting on this very exciting news since then, and I’ve been looking forward to getting my hands on a copy so that I could show you all. As you can see, it’s a double page spread, with a photo credit (if you look closely, you can just see it at the bottom right :) ). This is a huge thrill, and I am honored to be a part of this collectors edition of this wonderful magazine. To top it all off, I was also paid a reasonable fee for the use of my image.
If you would like to see it for yourself, or even if you just dig beautiful photos of our amazing universe, I highly recommend getting a copy of the “Whole Universe”. The issue should be on shelves in America until December, but there are only 100,000 copies of this limited edition issue. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I am!
Here’s the original photo:

Neil Creek
Thank you so much everyone for your kind words and congratulations! It’s both a thrill and an honor to be featured in the magazine like this!
@marty: I was offered $400USD for the image. They told me that this is a lower price than they normally pay as it’s only a 100,000 print run. For their normal magazine which has a circulation of around 900,000, they would have offered more. I’m not sure how much more.
@Jarrod Discover contacted me after seeing the my image at the Fine Art Photoblog.

This is so wrong, they started with pancagikg our food with poisonos plastic, now colored bacon, if you simply know how to raise your kids, no need to fool them into getting sick, bacon already is not the healthiest meat. I hope you eat healthy from whats naturally available. PeACE!
