Fabulous photo giveaway

Today I am happy to announce the start of a fabulous giveaway sponsored by art photographer, Tim Irving :)

The winner of this giveaway will get to choose ANY TWO photographs from Tim's Etsy Page (So awesome!) Here is a bit about Tim Irving (and his photos): "I was given a camera when I was 9 years old and I've been taking photographs ever since. I use old cameras and a variety of old lenses, some I've made myself. I try and give my images a handmade feel."

Here is what you need to do to enter:
1. Be a follower, THEN you must comment on this post and let me know what's your favourite photo on Tim's Etsy page
2. Blog about this giveaway for an extra entry (please let me know what the link is to your blog post)
>
Please note: *Anyone (living anywhere) may enter.
*This giveaway will end on Tues, 8 September and the winner will be announced on Wed, 9 September (Random.org will pick the winning entry). Good Luck, darlings!

My fav is Coca Cola Vase. It's just so colorful and pretty.

Modelmental said...

Ooh, what are the chances of me winning again on Brazen? But if random.org is truly random, I suppose I have as good a chance as anyone!
I love "Reflection & Infinity"... Marmite, you either love it or you hate it. I like it. A lot.

Superficialgirl said...

Wow i had such a hard time choosing a fave but i think it might be this one http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24619523 although i will prob change my mind again :P

Paula said...

The pictures are awfully pretty and I'd love to enter, except I'm not sure about what I am thinking about it yet. So I don't want to take the chance of getting the picture from someone else who really wants it.

Your comps are cool- how do you know all these people?

I think my favorite must be the birds on the wires. The other photos are great, but I don't like the edging much.

boldly benny said...

Wow it's difficult to choose just one, I like (in no particular order):
Devotion to the ocean
King of Daisies
Ripe red
Over the garden fence
French landscape with poppies
Pink Citroen!
They're just so pretty, I found myself imagining frames and walls!

Tamara said...

Thanks for introducing me to Tim Irving's work. Wow! Choices, choices... his photos are all incredible.

I'd be hard pressed to pick between The Embrace, French Cherry Tree; Marigold Seed Heads and King of Daisies, but with my "thing" for cherries, I'd have to say Ripe Red is my ultimate favourite.

ExMi said...

my favourite are the marmite reflections and the golden years.

gorgeous photos. i really like the saturated colors. it's close to impossible to choose a favorite but the animal photos are pretty amazing. like this one http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29536731

Alexandra said...

It took me a couple of days to decide which picture was my favourite. I let it sink in for a few days, checked Tim's website from time to time and knew then that the picture of the four cherries had chosen me. It kept looking at me, saying "Wouldn't I be georgeous hanging in your new kitchen?" And then some other pictures would tell me "No! Pick me! Pick me! I would be fab for your newly painted and refurnished bedroom!" And suddenly I saw my whole house filled with these amazing photos by Tim Irving.
But for now I'll stick to the four cherries. And I will blog about them soon on http://leveninborgerhout.blogspot.com.
Cheers!
Alexandra

Well this is a bonus. I started following your blog because you live in Cape Town and I'll be visiting South Africa for World Cup 2010. I thought it might be neat to read the words of a local.

And, as a result, I also get to enter this cool contest! I struggled choosing just one, but my favorite Tim Irving photo is Wall of Lights.

It's just so cool!

Payson said...

My favourite of Tim's photos is "French Landscape with Poppies" It is absolutely gorgeous!
