a good fit - photo contest

052708_600.jpg

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 13th to enter. The Shutter Sisters will choose three fit finalists from the submissions and post them here on June 17th 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 20th.

Get ready, get set, get FIT!

My entry is a Butterfly Among the Blades

http://www.flickr.com/photos/26558078@N06/2568579025/

This tiny butterfly dances and fits its way in and out of grass blades on a Spring afternoon. The butterfly is a reminder that just like it's tiny fit among the blades, we as humans are tiny fits in the magnificent scape of natural beauty all around us.

I struggled to come up with a shot for this contest, and after I entered this shot in the Shutter Sisters pool on flickr I noticed I did not have a 100% original idea. Oh well I still would not change it because it is, however, 100% true. I love my man and couldn't imagine my life without this man.

Fit for this life. The wee embryo that's now 28 weeks along and going strong, and is the very reason that I'm going to need a Wii Fit - a workout I can do at home!

I uploaded a picture that made me feel good about being fit inside and out!

I think you have to work pretty hard to stop kids from trying to be fit. They can turn anything into a workout!

I think my hubby & I are a good "fit". We just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary a few days ago and are still going strong! Here we are (oh to be that young again & know now what we didn't know then):

"Fit" To fit in despite your uniqueness and individuality. My youngest lives by the beat of his own drum. Yes means yes, no means no, and when someone says "but so-and-so is doing it (whatever "it" may be)", he simply says "but I'm me." Everyone who meets him leaves a better person and you can't "fit" any better than that.
