New GMG Photo Contest!!
American Express © recenty ran a TV ad that showed pictures of both smily face and sad face images made up of everyday things we might see. I thought this would be a great way of getting the creative juices flowing for all you photographers. As with the other contests, please submit one photo, either sad or happy to mlindberg1@mac.com. The deadline for the photo contest is Monday October 5th 2009. Voting will open the following day.
Now I know you could all stage a smily face or sad face but please try to be creative and use things that are natural. If you do stage the photo, please be creative and try to make it look as natural as possible.
Below are some examples…no copying now..good luck!

Beautiful Industry- Greased Wire Cable Ready To Be Loaded On The Princess Elena
This post is dedicated to the lovely Ronna Resnick at Action Inc. She said she loves the Beautiful Industry photos.
This cable will go on the net reels and be what is attached to the net. When you hear the term “Haul Back” it means they will wind the cable back aboard the boat and pull the net back aboard.
So if you ever listen to the VHF radio and you hear a fisherman say he’s going to haul back, you know he’s just finished his “set” and hes gonna bring the net back aboard.
The grease will preserve the cable and give it a longer life. Below is a picture of ungreased wire cable.
