UPDATED:  The winner of my Kalsø Earth Shoes giveaway is….

CARRIE!

Congratulations, Carrie!  May you walk in comfort and good health!


*From one of my favorit’est movies, ever, Pulp Fiction.   Which? I think it’s time that we got this on disc so we can watch it over and over again.   I’m looking at you, Michael Lane.  Because the last time we watched it was on VHS.  I mean, who has a VHS player anymore?  And, remember when it was called a VCR.  Shoot, we’re old.

Jules: “Basically I’m just gonna walk the earth.”

Vincent: “What’cha mean ‘walk the earth’?”

Jules: “You know, like Caine in Kung Fu – walk from place to place, meet people, get in adventures.”


Would you like to walk the earth in total comfort? One lucky reader will win a pair of these Kalsø Earth Shoes.  These shoes are the original “negative heel” shoe that mimics walking barefoot in sand, helping to naturally position our body over our frame.  It also allows us to have a better walking motion which helps improve posture and reduce joint stress.

And, they’re pretty.

Pretty historic, too!

I’m the type of shoe wearer that needs a couple weeks to break a shoe in, but not these.  They were comfortable the moment I put them on, and having worn them three days I haven’t had one complaint.

Here’s what you need to do to be entered to win (I will pick one winner, randomly, on August 5th.)

All you have to do to enter is comment telling me that you “like” Kalsø Earth Shoes on Facebook and leave a comment on their wall saying that I sent you over (I will be checking, believe-you-me!)

[Disclosure: I was not compensated monetarily, in any way, other than being sent these wonderful shoes. The opinions stated are those of my feet alone!]

Canvas, FTW!

Congratulations, Heathersaurus!

Thank you to all who entered. I wish I could give you each one. Still, even if you didn’t win, your odds of scoring are still better here than in any bingo game,
so stay tuned for more fun giveaways!

Monochromatic Wall of Lane

I’ve been dreaming about creating a photo wall, up along the stairs, for as long as I can remember, since our first house, back in Buffalo.  I’ve finally gotten around to it, and I’ve decided that the whole wall is going to be black-and-white portraiture.  Right now I’ve only got three photos up there, but I’ve got a growing folder of pictures ready to get printed, either to be framed or made into a canvas print.  I want a mix of both, really.   I also want a mix of posed and candid shots.  This summer I want this wall to be covered in photos!

* * * * * *

Yesterday, Davey and I traveled into Atlanta for a birthday party for Renee’s little boy, Mekhi.  Davey was so excited.  Not only did he get to see Mekhi again, the party was at Imagine It! Children’s Museum and there would be so much for him to see and do.  Add pizza and cake; Davey was in his element!

I brought my camera along—50mm f/1.4 affixed—and snapped away.   I wanted to document the day, from my perspective for my friend, but also I was sure that there would be some cool captures that would make it into the folder for my “Monochromatic Wall of Lane”.

They aren’t the typical posed portrait, but I love them just the same.

I was contacted by Easy Canvas Prints to turn one of my photos to canvas and they also gave me an 8×10 canvas print to giveaway, to [you] one of my readers.
The middle canvas, of all four of the kids, was from them.
The site was easy to use, and the canvas is just awesome.  At Easy Canvas Prints, turning your favorite photo to canvas is so easy that all you do is choose what size you want, upload your photo, select the border, and you even have the option to apply affects.
To be entered in the 8×10 CANVAS GIVEAWAY just link me in the comment section to a photo (on your blog or photo sharing site) that you would love to have printed on canvas.  You can change your mind as to what picture you actually print, if you win, I just love an excuse to see your favorite photos!
The giveaway will end a week from today, and you can share a link a day, everyday of the week, to be entered!
That’s good odds, yo…

[Easy Canvas Prints provided me with a 12x12 canvas print, but I was not compensated monetarily for this post.]
