He is a Emmy award winner writer for the Daily Show, Writes some of Obama's speeches(the funny ones like the corespondents dinner) and is a NY Times best seller(for the Daily Show book Earth)

great news. I think we need a board here to post our exploits/milestones/achievements. All of us work hard and when we do get a little recognition, it feels good. Again, congrats.

That's a valid question. The answer... no money, Im just getting a free copy of the book.

I shoot a lot of stock photography and upload it for free at http://www.sxc.hu/ It has to be stock quality and be approved to get into the site.
When some one contacts me. I usually ask for a copy of the book(or whatever media) and that my name be published in the work. Im currently just looking at building my portfolio.

Photography is just a hobby for me and I don't do it for monetary gain(although Ive sold some stuff to ad agencies and art exhibits). And because I put my stuff up for free Ive been published in quite a few books, magazines, a lot of websites. Sometimes I feel like im being taken advantage of for giving them an image for free... but if I didn't put myself on this site alot of the clients wouldn't see my work. Also its pretty cool when you get the book in the mail or google yourself or go on amazon.com and see your book cover.

I'm pretty excited for this book because the author is so well known and has potential to be a NY Times best seller.
