Not bragging, but gee did it feel cool driving onto the freeway and seeing my image on a billboard.. This one is on the corner of Beach Blvd. (in Huntington Beach) and the 405. I heard there is another one up by lax. If you happen to see any more please let me know...

Congratulations. A real nice image, goes real well with the campaign. Me like it. What camera/lens/details....? That would be real nice to know the back story of the image that makes it to the bill board. Anything & everything would be highly educatioal & enlightening.
Thanks... Details? Um, I don't like to tell to much of my theories, but on the other end, it wasn't rocket science.. canon (fast camera), water shot and i use water housings by www.splwaterhousings.com

It still does feel nice seeing my work on billboards. It never quits being a kick. I remember once that on the way to work (15 miles), I counted four of my images up on billboards (Local advertisers). That was fun.
Congratulations.

Way to go! I'll echo John and say to get a better shot of the billboard with maybe with a hipper ride driving by below the sign. You could use it on your web site.

On a side note... I have a writer friend that has his face HUGE on a billboard here. It's advertising his columns in the newspaper, and it's just so funny seeing him up on a billboard, like he's a celebrity. I'm sure it would feel a little different seeing YOU rather than your work on that billboard!

I had a stock image on billboards all over Denver a while ago. It was a grab shot of my son leaning against a tree and reading a book - while he waited for me to finish a lifestyle shoot with models.
I enjoyed seeing it around, but imagine his pride at school.
