I’m schooooo happy! It was worth every single gram of that heavy-in-weight, 2nd hand, Canon 400D that we lugged to Melbourne and Paris early this year. FOUR of our photos from our holidays were picked to be featured in Schmap.com‘s local travel guides—WAY-HO!

Schmap is a leading publisher of digital travel guides for 200 destinations throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. More than 90 million Schmap Guides have been downloaded since first release in March 2006: this phenomenally popular series can also be browsed online, with versions optimized for iPhone and Nokia users. HOW COOL IS THAT?

Anyhoo, thanks to the simplicity of iPhoto, I managed all our photos and named them very specifically so we won’t forget where we stepped foot on and then directly uploaded all our pics onto our FlickrPro account (which btw, rocks). Because of our accuracy and detailed description of all the pics, it made it easy for companies like Schmap to find our photos. Over a month ago we were told that our pics had been shortlisted, and finally we received an email days ago confirming 4 of the photos made it! Yay!

So enuff with the fluff here are some screenshots of the pics used in the Schmap guides for Melbourne and Paris. Click on them photos to go directly to Schmap where these photos are posted

Ah, nothing like seeing your name in print.
