On Again and a Message

An update on :iconiamidaho:'s recent journal

[link]

Thanks to the intercession of lots and lots of people, Nikon has pulled their sponsorship of the Predator Derby! This is great news, for a lot of reasons - for one, it shows that an active group of concerned people can still make some difference in things of a larger nature. Sure, this didn't stop global warming or remove the danger of predator extinction, but we did convince someone important at Nikon that it wasn't in their best interest to support events like this, because it isn't in the interest of their customer base, nor in line with their own stated policies. And that's a small step closer to Nikon instead supporting causes that benefit the environment or species populations, which are a huge concern for wildlife photographers (as well as bajillions of other people).

For the record (not because anyone raised the issue, but literally for the record), I like Nikon. I'm really happy they changed their minds about this issue. If Canon or Olympus had sponsored this event, I would have been pissed at them too. I also like and support ecologically responsible hunting and fishing and outdoory-ness in general.

A great big thank you to anyone and everyone who read my (or :iconiamidaho:'s journal and emailed, called, complained loudly, or sent positive vibes shooting throughout the internet :hug:

(update over - from here down's the old stuff :) )
---------------------------------------------
IN happier news, the play closed last night with a huge crowd, and things will likely calm down at least a little. Lots of people were very curious to see what show I was planning to do next, and I was invited to join the theatre company's board :)
