Photobook Give-away II

And the winner is…

Adriana Durian

Even though no one who entered the contest followed all of my rules, I’m a forgiving person. Adriana was the first to hop on the bandwagon with a photographer and although he may not be my favourite guy out there, His work is inspiring.

I’ll be giving away one of my books to Adriana and I have one more to give away! (That’s why it says Give-away II…)

This time, I’ll ask you to send an email to comp@kerrphotography.ca and I’ll take your submission of favourite photographer/picture and post it to twitter and facebook for all of the followers to see. If you’d like to re-enter an image or photographer, go ahead, I’m not going to say “no”. The contest for the second give-away of Kerr Photography begins right now and will end sometime around February 14th.

In the meanwhile, please keep coming back to check on posts and subscribe to my twitter feed so you can keep track of all the entries!

Listen up.

We can all do without some things in life. So, if you’re going the movie theater this weekend, or perhaps out to a fancy dinner, skip on the desert, or the popcorn and pop. Use that $5, $10 or $15 dollars and donate it to something. Perhaps, the disaster relief in Haiti. Because if one earthquake isn’t enough, they have now had a second (6.0) earthquake that has rocked them again!

If you’re in Canada, and on Rogers, Fido or Bell, text “haiti” (without the quotes) to 45678. Then respond with “yes” and $5 will automatically be donated to the Salvation Army for help in Haiti. Let’s send an aftershock of donations.

Thanks for bearing with me.

–UPDATE–
Apparently it wasn’t a 6.0 quake. It was a 6.1. And for more donation options try this:

  • The American Red Cross is accepting donations by phone. You can text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross’s efforts, or call 1-800-Redcross or 1-800-257-7575. Visit their Web site to find out more.
  • Interaction, the largest coalition of U.S.-based NGOs focused on the world’s poor, has set up a Haiti relief donation page, listing several participating organizations where you can donate.
  • UNICEF is also accepting donations for the relief efforts in Haiti and the Caribbean region. Visit their Web site or call 1-800-4UNICEF to donate.

Simple. Right?

Competition Time

Competition is closed

visit this post for the winner and new competition details

As I am sitting here at my computer, Herbal tea within reach and Justice in the ears, I am realizing, I should have got this post out a couple of days ago. If not weeks ago. I’m going to be holding a little competition in the next week. It’s inspired by a fellow photographer, Reuben Krabbe who put out a competition a little while back. In the spirit of the times, I’d like to do a small give-away! I’ve put together a small collection of my images and had it printed by an online printing company. The link for the book has been in the sidebar of my blog for the past couple weeks (go ahead and check, I can wait…) with a little preview.

Check out the details Continue reading →

Pumpkin Graveyard

Pumpkin GraveyardA pumpkin graveyard that I found on the side of the road the other night. This was weird. I was driving down a side road and there were some pumpkins, probably around 10 or 15 of them on the embankment. I thought, “Cool, I should take a picture of that”. I proceeded to turn on to the highway where I found more pumpkins scattered on the rocks and in the ditch. I came back with my camera and, perhaps, next year I’ll bring my pumpkin.

Rocks at Thanksgiving

Margot's RocksThanksgiving is a wonderful time of the year. There is no pressure to spend lots of money on each other. You don’t have to dress up in a ridiculous outfit. And there is pretty healthy food involved. Don’t forget about the turkey, ham, sausage, mashed potatoes, carrots, and all those other good foods. You can leave the little green balls in the grocery store though. They don’t belong at my table. Continue reading →
