Winter Contest Rules
Just because I like to start out with an image and I love this new wide angle lens, this is another test shot from my new Nikon D3.
ISO 1600. 1/250s at f/4.5. 14-24 mm lens. Focal length: 14 mm.
- I will begin posting my holiday card designs tomorrow, Jan. 1, 2008.
The three designs that receive the most comments will be entered into a finalist round. The grand prize winner — the family featured on the one card that receives the most unique comments — will receive a $150 credit to be used toward prints or print products from their session or toward a new session in 2008!
AND, the owner of the e-mail address that sends in the most comments relating to card designs will receive a FREE family session in 2008. Comments must be legitimate and unique. I reserve the right to delete any comments that seem repetitive, copied or insincere. One comment per e-mail address per day will be counted. If you comment on one card design, feel free to leave a response comment, but only one of your posts will be counted for each design.
Let the comments begin!
NOTE: In the “name” field, rather than put in your full name, you may put your initials, or just your first name, or a nickname. I will know who you are by your e-mail address.
Don’t leave your comment here though. Be sure to go back to the specific card design that you meant to comment on! (Click “back” on your browser.)
Bookmark the blog and THANKS for visiting!
Happy New Year!

My family calls me "the mamarazzi."
I am truly amazed and inspired by your work. You are indeed the photographer, I have been searching for. Your photos do not just show an object, but rather, tell a story. Truly, they our works of art. Your designs for your holiday cards are like nothing I have ever encountered. Your work clearly reflects the passion in your heart.
I look forward to working with you very soon!
Truly,
Christine Stout

I love the red color on the front of card #2. The inside picture of the family is beautiful. It looks very natural and the color is perfect for an outdoor shot. You really have a way of making every family look gorgeous!

Your holiday card was beautiful. It is so sweet and creative. I especially love the picture of mother and daughter holding hands… it just touches my heart.
Thanks, Susan, for your comment! I edited to take the names out. Also, I can’t figure out how to move the comment, but I’ll count it toward Design #3.—jws

Sorry about the confusion.
Let’s say Andrew comments on Design 1 on Monday. That’s one. Then he comments on Design 1 on Tuesday. The second comment on Design 1 doesn’t count.
But if he comments on Design 2 on Tuesday, that DOES count. He’s got two.
Design 1 on Monday = 1
Design 2 on Tuesday = 2
So…you can comment on every design if you wish, and each one will be counted, but only one comment will be counted in any given day, and only one comment will be counted for any given design.
Be sure to check the blog everyday because there will be days when I post something besides a card design. You might have a chance to comment on a design that you might have missed.
Feel free to call or e-mail if the rules don’t make sense. I want it to be fair and fun! 732.261.1075/julie@juliewaltonshaver.com
