Cobalt’s First Cover


Image by cobalt123
One of my images was found on flickr and selected by a very famous, internationally-known artist to use in creating a special cover for a New York Times Magazine. This is the 5th Anniversary Issue for the New York Times Style Magazine, an annual feature for Fall Fashion 2009. It is now out in publication today, Sunday. You will see that Jenny Holzer has used my image of ocean waves to create her cover for the magazine!

To see my original, uploaded to flickr in 2006, go to this link. To see how I have re-edited the image, go to this link. BTW, I have always shot all images in any camera I have used in the highest resolution possible and stored them on several back-up media options. I believe that my use of careful tags for images uploaded resulted in the image being discovered.

Now, it is cool enough for me to have an image purchased and printed in the NY Times and online, but the best part is that the unknown artist who was considering use of my image turned out to be Jenny Holder, one of the most famous female artists in the world. I have followed her work for years, literally over 30 years. Please see the links below for an introduction to her work:

Great video of her most recent US installation:

Those friends and contacts who are aware of my social and political interests as well as fine art aspirations will recognize why I have been such a big Jenny Holder fan for years.

So now you all have "the rest of the story". Thanks to you all for supporting me and contributing to my journey in learning what to shoot and how to shoot it, as well as photo editing and sharing simple pleasures.

For the pieces of this composition, I have taken online screenshots from the NY Times to include. The comments in the first reply boxes will have links to the online webpages. To start viewing the online pages, go to this link:

BTW, I am also thrilled to know that the five anniversary covers are being made available as poster prints.
