I still remember talking with Heather Champ years ago while at SxSW in Austin, when JPG magazine was just a dream. It is now almost two years old, and they have launched a new and very fabulous website for it. One of the neat features that they include now is the option to set up an account, upload an image, and submit it for one of their theme contests. The latest theme? Tourist.
Oh yeah, I have tourist photos. TONS of tourist photos. Many of which you have never even seen. Good ones that I will be uploading into Flickr fast and furious in the very near future, as I want to print some of them through Qoop and it is the easiest way to do that. So many tourist photos.
However, I felt that Mile Zero was the best place to start. Every journey begins with the first step.
If you like the photo, please go and vote. I really, really appreciate it.

Yeah, with the title of “The Beginning of Your Trip”. Gee, I wonder where that mile marker was? Maybe, in Galveston?!
It is actually as you arrive in Galveston – so it is the ending of I-45 South when you get on to the island.
Last time I tried to photograph it, it was missing. I wonder how often they have to replace it?
I think it’s a great shot. Maybe it makes more sense to those of us who live here and see the mile markers all over the place anyways. I like the ones at the other end, where it says “Mile 500”, too.
BTW, we ended up in Klein ISD. We went to go and see the signs after they were all posted and they *were* allowed to use people currently in the military. It was a great exhibit.
