daily photo giveaway.

Posted on Posted in honourable mentionsTagged 5 Comments

Today marks my sixth month anniversary of taking a photograph everyday.  For sixth months, I have carried a camera with me everywhere, something that I have been historically bad at since I started taking pictures.  Every photograph that I have posted here has been taken that day, no exceptions.  If I wasn’t able to get to a computer that day, I selected the photo I wanted to use and waited until I could post it.  Sometimes the pictures were great.  Sometimes I didn’t leave my apartment all day so the internet got to see a picture of tinfoil. 

In honour of this anniversary, I will be giving one of you lucky readers a matted 5 x 7 print of your favourite daily photo.  All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me which photograph is your favourite and why.  Make sure you include the date the photo was posted when you comment! There are no restrictions; I will gladly send this gift anywhere in the world. 

The winner will be announced on Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 at 10pm (Pacific Standard Time).

  1. watching a blind person see a sculpture with their hands.
  2. witnessing a small child’s first boat ride.
  3. being told by someone you love that they are now officially divorced, and hearing the happiness in their voice.
  4. the swell of pride you get when you see how someone has flourished after being held back for years.
  5. inviting someone to come for a visit, and knowing that, as soon as they can, they will make the trip.
