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!
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.
Since not a lot of people are entering This competition of mine, I thought I would provide some incentive to win. Here are a couple of quick snaps I took of the book.
This is a really cool concept on the new wave of magazines. Instead of putting video or “moving stills” in to your magazine (Harry Potter style), put your magazine in a large touch screen display. It would be great if all the magazines used this device and you could sync with your computer to download certain subscriptions of magazines. Like a podcast, that you pay for.
Be sure to enter to win a coffee table book from me to you! See the details at blog.kerrphotography.ca!

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.
Last year while I was in school, a couple of my classmates and I went up to Jordan River for a photo day. This weeks Tasty Tuesday picture is from that trip. After this trip I was inspired to go out and photograph other logging camps, working or not, around Vancouver Island. I haven’t made this trip yet, however, when I do I will be sure to make it a wonderful experience. The goal is to document the whole trip and get it down on paper in the form of a book.
