Aren't they perfectly fitting? We think so. As were all of your fantastically fit submissions. Thanks to everyone who played along.

Now, what comes next is up to all of you. To participate you must choose your favorite shot of these three. You only can vote for ONE of these shots and you must place your vote in the comments on this very post. Feel free to share the contest with friends and family too. Anyone and everyone can vote but you must comment here to get your vote counted. You have until 5pm EST on Thursday, June 19th to vote. The winner will be announced on June 20th.

Come on everyone, one of these fine sisters of the shutter is going to win a Nintendo Wii system and the Wii Fit to go with it! It's up to you to decide who runs away with it so...if the vote fits...cast it!

a good fit - photo contest

Today at Shutter Sisters we’re kicking off another photo contest. All you have to do is show us your best visual translation of the word fit and you could win a Nintendo Wii Console and the Wii Fit to go with it. Yes, you heard right. We are giving away a Wii AND the just released Wii Fit game to one lucky winner. Crowd goes wild.

There are three simple steps to follow in order to enter:

1. Submit a fit photo to our Flickr Pool. Only one photo per person please.
2. Tag it “Wii Fit Photo Contest”.
3. Leave the link in the comments here so we are sure not to miss your entry.

What exactly is a fit photo? Anything you want it to be. We’re all about anything that fits in the box or out, anything that’s a perfect fit or feels fitting; in other words, if the shoe fits…

You are more than welcome to post the photo to your blog as well and you may add a story that fits for some context to your photo. If you do write up a little something on your blog, be sure to link it to your photo in the Flickr Pool so everyone can enjoy your blog entry too. Play along however you’d like…whatever fits the bill. Keep in mind that you must have permission from anyone in your photo to enter the photo in the contest. And by all means, spread the word about the contest…anyone with a fitting photo can enter.

The contest begins today and you have until Friday, June 13^th to enter. The Shutter Sisters will choose three fit finalists from the submissions and post them here on June 17^th where you will get the chance to vote for the photo you feel is the best fit. The Wii and Wii Fit winner will be announced on June 20^th.

Get ready, get set, get FIT!

One Sweet Shot - May 2008

 

When I came across this image, it took my breath away. In her work, Crystal consistently brings together impeccable imagery and heavenly processing and I find myself astounded and inspired by the images she creates. This one is a particular favorite as the creamy warm tones of the shot overwhelm me with sweet melancholy and the mirrored gesture of the wind blown tree and wispy cherub curls makes me swoon. As I have studied every detail of this photo I realized that this little girl reminds me of what my oldest daughter looked like at that age. I'm certain that only makes me love it more. Heavy sigh.

I could go on and on but there are so many other Sweet Shots to share, I will leave you with a list of links. What could be better than to spend your day getting inspired by your fellow sisters of the shutter?

A Mother's Gift

Happy Mother’s Day Sisters!

In honor of the mother’s out there, the generous and ever-so-talented sisters at Blue Poppy Jewelry are offering one lucky shutter sister their thoughtfully created motherhood necklace especially for Mother’s Day. It’s our first ever giveaway here and we are delighted it’s come from Blue Poppy. You know we’re big fans. As a matter of fact…we’ve got a very exciting project in the works with them that will soon be revealed (here’s hoping your interest is now officially piqued) but for today, it’s about our little celebration of motherhood.

Because many of you are busy basking in the glow of handmade cards and clay handprints, today we’re making it easy on you. All you have to do to be included in the random drawing for the Blue Poppy Motherhood necklace is leave a comment here anytime between now and Monday at midnight EST and on Tuesday, we will reveal the lucky winner. If you’d like to share a link to a photo that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy in that mama way, you are most welcome but the only thing you have to do is leave a comment.

Speaking of warm and fuzzy…what about this gorgeous and poignant self-portrait a la Toyfoto? Her work makes me weepy. Weepy or hysterical with laughter. And as synchronicity has it (I swear it was a total coincidence), it’s her birthday today. Happy Birthday to you Siobhan! Is it me or is there something kinda magical about that?

Again, Happy Mother’s Day to you. May you enjoy every minute of your day. And don’t forget to hand over the camera (or at least use your self-timer). You can always use a photo of the day to enter the MamaFocus contest too. Just a thought.

edited to add- Congratulations to Anna of the blog Hank and Willie. She is the lucky winner of the Blue Poppy Motherhood necklace. Hooray for Anna! Thanks to all of you who commented. It was nice to get your Mother’s Day wishes. We hope yours was wonderful.
