Got a photo on a book cover

Just had an Email from author Rob Hunter , to let me know that a photo I took back in 2003 has been used as the cover to a collection of his short stories, (Platterland), and also features as the main image on his new website.

Well chuffed!

I shot the original image in Jerome AZ back in 03 - as part of a set for a local B&B - I did all of their marketing shots, and got free accommodation for swmbo and myself in return. (Sweet deal!)

The images were then used on their website, and that's where Rob saw my junkyard shot, and contacted me to secure it's use.

It was used as the cover shot for Platterland, and now it's getting an airing on his new website and eBook.

it's a brilliant photo, it's the kind of thing I look at in my spare time and would lead me to picking up the book to see what it's like ...
