Issue 2 Cover Contest is complete

I want to thank everyone who entered the cover photo contest for issue 2.  Things started out slow.  For a while I thought there may only be two entrants, but some more great pics came through in the last two days. 

I learned that flickr may not be the right choice.  About 1/2 the people that entered had flickr issues.  We'll look for a better way to share images for the contest.  Maybe photobucket?

I showed pics to the professional photographer judge, and we agreed on which images we thought were best suited for the cover.  Then the work was up to me.  I made mock covers of each finalist's shot and the picture that worked the best won.  I won't reveal which picture won yet, but I can tell you it is a "philthy-photo."  The cover of issue 2 will be released in a couple of weeks as we begin to tease the next issue.

Everyone that entered the photo contest needs to email me a mailing address so I can send them some luchaskate, "I love ditches" stickers.  And, EVERYONE who entered the contest will have at least one picture in the magazine.
