Title: Smithsonian articles are finished!!
Post by: billy on October 08, 2009, 11:48:08 pm

Hey everyone,

I sent the last Smithsonian article to Ed the other day, so they are finished and sent and just waiting to be published.  I don't yet know when the series will begin...I think it all depends on when they have enough room in the first available mag.  Some of the articles are very photo-heavy, with almost 40 pictures!  Whew!  The photos of the bows are actually a composite of two photos (each photo shows 1/2 of the bow) and I joined them together using photoshop.  I did this so the photos could be enlarged and would show maximum detail.  I also have close-ups of bow tips, arrowheads, fletching, and paint designs.  I included acquisition dates, length and width measurements, etc.  There is a lot of information contained in these articles.  I can't wait to see them in the mag and I hope you all enjoy them.

I'm really looking foward to these articles.  I can only imagine the amount of work that went into the research and the writing.  I really do enjoy all of the articles that you are writing for the magazine.
