I'm constantly looking for new (and free) ways to get exposure for our region.
You've seen our Daily Photo blog? Here's the link: http://www.texasmountaintrail.blogspot.com/
Today I signed up as a CNN.com iReporter, a free venue to submit images and stories to CNN. The chances of something getting picked up are slim, but it is worth a shot, right?
I did this after learning that they were looking for fall foliage photos, and our Guadalupe Mountains National Park is the only place in Texas with true fall color. Here's my profile page, and the photos I've submitted so far: http://www.ireport.com/people/Trailgirl?view=documents&viewingAsOthers=true (And yes, you might have recognized this older photo of me, taken in my first months on the job. It just seemed to fit the page.)
One of the photos was up less than an hour when it got the following comment: "thanks for the pics. As a 5th gen Texan, translocated in Montreal, it warmed my heart to see a bit of home. Love those hills, spent lots of time out in the big open, and its true beauty is amazing. Merci"
Anyway, please go visit the page, and click on each photo for a closer view. THANKS.
Oh yeah, and there's our new YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/TMTrail
I am testing Spira Footwear's first line of hiking shoes--and the featured video was my "thank you" card to the company about the inaugural hike. More on that later.....
