1. Get outdoor magazine story assignment.

2. Be the only person on the trip with a good camera.

3. Take 200 photos a day.

4. Know the art director.

Ok, so it wasn’t very difficult, but I did land my very first magazine cover photo in the latest issue of Kayak Angler magazine. The image in question is one of the 1,400+ photos I took during a week of kayak fishing in the Queen Charlotte Islands. Click here to read the story.

For more details about my ongoing travails to get my photographs published in the magazines that I edit (let alone elsewhere) read this.

Can I call myself a photographer yet?
