LOVE those bags!!!

My latest epiphany? Learning to take 10 minutes out of each day to do whatever it is I want to do (whether checking Twitter or doing a quick clean sweep of the house). It's saving my sanity!

[Audrey]

My epiphanie is that winter is overrated. Even if it is rated poorly, it is still overrated.

[Tracy]

I am so salivating over those bags! I would be so psyched to win one. They're gorgeous. I wouldn't mind the Canon either...

[Faith]

My latest epiphany is that shooting in RAW is awesome.
Great bags!

[Natalie P.]

I would love to win one. They are amazing!

[damiec]

mine - I make more progress working with what I have vs. holding off till I have what I want (or think I need).

[brittany]

My latest epiphanie has to do with eating better. There's always something to do better, no? Gotta love progression of the human soul.

[allison waken]

Those bags are amazing!

[Courtney]

My latest epiphanie actually came from one of your previous posts. Wait and be still and you might get the perfect shot. You'll know at that moment. I have always gotten in such a hurry to be inspired and to take a great picture. But if I just sit still and wait once in a while.....

[Kate]

I love these bags so much! Every single one. :)

[Crystal]

Such beautiful bags! I love that even when I've been in a slump using my camera, I can come to this site and be re-inspired!

[Jayne Bramley]

I LOVE the bags....I just can't decide which one to buy....the brown or the red?? I keep going back to the site and looking but I just can't make up my mind, ahhh!!!

[Diane]

I had to really look back to remember when the last epiphany was that I had:

My mother and I would share books and discuss them. We bought one another books. Then she died. Several weeks ago I was trying to understand why I can no longer read or even open a book of fiction. It came to me as an epiphany that it truly is directly related to the death of my mother. I have not yet moved on and this is a block that is holding me back.

I have not been able to read fiction at all since my mother died and until that time I had been an avid fiction reader. I have found that I can't even read articles in magazines that are too long -- I lose my concentration.

[Samantha]

My latest epiphanie is about time: I don't need (or want!) to know what every photographer out there is doing. I'm going to pick my favorites to follow and leave the rest alone. And Shutter Sisters is one of my favorites!

[Lesa]

Your bags look awesome! Would love to see one in person...

[melody]

Epiphanie ~ I have no reason to be afraid to follow my heart.

Oh.I.Love.Your.Bags!!! I have one on order BUT would love to win one to gift a friend.

[deezee]

My latest Epiphanie...

film cameras should not be relegated to the closet...

[Finn]

My epiphany? Just shoot. Try everything, different angles, different settings, stand up, sit down, lay down. Just shoot. You'll learn more from your mistakes than your successes.

[DorkyMum]

My most recent epiphanie is that it's okay to make different parenting decisions to the ones my own mother made. Even though I thought she was a great Mum, what was right for her is not necessarily right for me and my son.

[Marcie]

What great bags!!!

[Kristen]

Wow! These bags are so great! My latest epiphany is that I need to figure out my own style for my photographs, not just try to emulate others--although a good learning tool. I'm working on learning exactly what is "me".

[Crystal]

I realized that I was trying to hard to make pictures that everyone liked. I need to do what I like, some people will like it, some will hate it, but I will be happier and prouder for being true to me.

These bags are so stinkin' cute!!!

[Laura A]

With having a few health issues recently it hit me that life can to be too short. So I started writing special messages to loved ones and life lessons I've learned, just incase my life is too short and if my life is long then I'll have recorded a lot of personal and loving thoughts throughout the rest of my life :)

[karen]

That if I had a stylish camera bag such as those from Epiphanie, I wouldn't mind lugging the heavy thing with me...Ban the boring black bag!

[Kristen]

shoot from the same perspective that the subject is viewing the world...I love capturing my baby's-eye-view

[Stace]

My recent epiphany: I'm tired of taking pictures of flowers, and I'm not sure I'm learning anything from it. You click enough times, and you're guaranteed to get something pretty, just because the subject is pretty. I'm trying to come up with some way to challenge myself again.

[rachael s]

my latest epiphany is that while i don't have to make anyone else happy with my photography other than myself, but when i do make others happy it makes me the happiest.

[Michelle]

I'm with Angie. My latest epiphany is that there is something very cool about capturing moments in my life with only a cheap digital and picnik to help me. Working around these limitations to produce what I see in my mind is stretching my creativity and acknowledging that all the gadgetry in the world can't replace my unique vision and voice.

[~Kristina]

my latest epiphanie, the deteriorating health of my grandfather. while i have had my moments with tears and heartstings, I am spending more energy focusing on capturing what Time we have left. Live in the moment because this moment, is what is ours for sure.

[Allison]

Such beautiful bags - I Hope, I hope, I hope...

[Tiffany]

my latest epiphany: it doesn't matter what others are doing. focus on what you are doing and make it good. i see a lot of what everyone else is doing and want to be more like them. but it's not really about that. it is about what i can contribute to the world and not how well i can follow someone else.

love the bag! i've been looking at camera bags. so this would be lovely!

[Liz]

epiphany? not sure. i'm trying to embrace the epiphany that my entire yard does not have to be transformed in one fell swoop....as nice as it would be to get rid of the river rock that covers 90% of it and move to native plants! ;) a camera bag would be a nice epiphanie, though. :D

[Amarie]

The epiphany of my LIFE came when I realized no matter how much I gave, how much I did, and how far I went, I could not "win" someone's love, and it had to either be there, or not.

Wonderful bags!

[dawn]

these bags are amazing! my epiphany is that i need to want what i have, even if what i have isn't what i want.

[stacy a]

These bags are fab-u-lous! Would love to win since I'm in the need of a new bag. :) What a great giveaway!

[Kelsi]

My greatest epiphanie has come from the discovery that I needn't have worried that I wouldn't have the time or enough subjects to shoot for my project 365. Instead, by committing to shooting a picture a day I have committed to always having a camera with me and now I view everything in my world with a different eye. Suddenly, ordinary objects have the most extraordinary potential if only they are captured. Thanks to my commitment, I am literally stopping everyday, not necessarily to smell the flowers, but certainly to shoot them.

[Ali]

My latest epiphany - that I need to take some time for me and do something for me so that I have the energy and love to continue to do for others. Not a new one, but one about which I was recently reminded.

Great give-away. Love those bags!

[nevadanista]

Lately I've been so happy that age has taught me to just do things, like photography, the way I think is best for me, without worrying about how somebody else would the same thing.

[Jen]

My latest epiphany was that I can just take pictures instead of trying to create art. What a relief!

[Zahra]

OMG OMG OMG I would LOVEEEE to get a bag!!! And...my birthday is on the 6th so....that would totallyyyyy make my day ;)

*crosses fingers**

My epiphany: Do more with life! I've hit a point where I have realized that I dont DO anything anymore! Just go to school come home and eat, surf the net, sleep. Repeat. I'd like to get back more into the 'doing things' mood. That includes learning more and expanding on my photography :)

[Rosa]

That I am placing too much importance on things that I don't love, and must spend more time following my passions because life is short.

[Donna]

*fingers crossed* I know just the fabulas photographer to give this bag too.

I have discovered (is that like an epiphany?) that when you are in an amazing relationship, it not scary or sad having some alone time. weird.

[RachelB]

My latest "Epiphanie" was that sometimes you have to do something for yourself for a change. I had spent the past couple of years so focused on making others close to me happy that I put off making myself happy. So I decieded to pursue a hobby doing something I have always loved...photography! I have completely immersed myself in this hobby, and it just makes me so happy!

[BlessedMess]

Stop thinking about the changes I need to make, and just start changing. One thing at a time. Carrying my camera in something other than a sweatshirt in the bottom of the stroller would be a good start.

[SaraB]

What fun camera bags!!

[Annie]

My latest 'epiphanie' is to take MORE photos -- lately, I've been letting the days slip away without pulling out my camera and I'm missing things!!

[Pamala]

Wow! Great bags! I like bags that don't look like camera bags, just cause it's fun to surprise people. LOL!

[Whitney]

My latest epiphanie was to really invest time and money to take a good photography class.

[mary catherine]

My latest epiphanie seems so simple and silly, but I've realized I can just ask for help when I need it. I've been building my new career since becoming a mother two years ago, while also full time mothering my daughter. Epiphany/ie is that I need someone to help me care for her a couple times a week so I can focus on myself and my work and then be a better mother in the "off times." :)

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE one of these bags!
