I recently figure out that I don't need the latest and greatest lens to make great photos. I just need to use what I've got--and my noggin--a little more imaginatively. What a head-slapper that was! LOL

I love these bags! My latest epiphanie is how I need to change my perspective when looking through my lens.

My recent epiphanie is that in order to really get comfortable with my new gear, I just need to keep shooting, change up my settings and not worry so much about each individual shot...just for now.

the beauty of life is not scientific, it's time to frolic outside.

Oh my! I love the bags!

My great epiphany today is that sometimes a 92 year old woman can be stronger than a 42 year old woman!! And I LOVE these bags!!

my latest epiphany is that i actually canNOT do it all. i can't do everything i set out to do and do it perfectly. but i can do my best, i can make sure my daughter and husband are well taken care of, and i can have so much more fun when i'm not aiming for perfection.

thank you so much for this contest!!

My latest epiphany is that comparing myself and my photography to others is wasted energy and the more productive thing to do would be to do it 'my' way and to enjoy the process, without concern about what others will think.
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterdarrah
Your outlook on life is only as good as the lens you view it through. If you let it get dusty and smeary and foggy with pessimism and fear and self-defensiveness, you'll never be able to see and appreciate what's really there.

I would love to win an Ephiphanie bag!
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLori Paximadis
Awesome, stylish bags! Latest epiphany, live in the now, enjoy this moment, this second.
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCecilia
never give up on somebody.you never know when they'll come back around to you.
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBrenda
My ephanie was that love is not just a noun...it is an action verb as well.
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterjakki
My ephiphanies it that a beautiful new bag would surely help my photography skills!!!
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLouise
Oh Amy (2nd post), I so agree with you! My grandfather was a pro in the film days (obviously) and I really wonder whether he would love or hate what has happened in the world of photography. Some days I feel If he was here to give me "permission" to process I'd feel better about it. I get very frustrated when it's not right SOOC!
As for these bags...SO cute! I've been looking for something just like this! Thanks for the chance.
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKim K
I would LOVE to win one of her wonderful bags! Then again, I would love to win one of those cameras to put in the bag! :)
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered Commentergolightly
My latest epiphanie? Um...I don't think I've ever had something that's come close to an "epiphanie". Does suddenly figuring out the math problem on my test count? :P
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMay

My epiphanie is that everyday has a liltle surprise waiting and you just have to go with it.
Thanks!
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKelly
That bag looks awesome! Even better than my shootsac.
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterGail
You know those best laid plans? Well they don't always work out. Flexibility is a good thing. And usually the way life ends up is better than the plan you began with...

Love the bags!
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKim G
How pretty! Please count me in on this fabulous giveaway!
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterDonna M.
my epiphany came when i finally settled on a logo for my new photography business!
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRachel
My latest epiphanie is that you need to stay away from the negative as much as you can or it will bring you down. I'd love to be entered!!
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterShootingStarsMag
My epiphanie! is that it does not matter what kind of camera you are using ... the art is getting a great shot. Sometimes it comes from the nice equipment, sometimes the point and shoot disposable ... and even miracles can happen with a little bitty camera phone. A nice bag to put them in would be kinda cool, though.
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSharlea
Oh these bags are so amazing! I would love to win one! My latest epiphanie is happening right now: I do not have a cook and I must go make dinner...Aaaaahhh...get's me every time!
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMaegan
My latest epiphany was that its sometimes easier to just do it myself, that my husband just can't deal with the kids when they are cranky so that its easier to just do it.

Love the bags!
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered Commentertinkster

My epiphany is that I am wowed by the amazing and creative women that are linked by these websites somehow. I am inspired to let a squirt of creative juice flow out of these accountant's hands.
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterNatalie
My epiphanie:I am in charge of my future; I cannot sit back and hope things work out the way I want them to. I am going to make it happen.
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmy

March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRenee
My ephiphanie happened shortly after the recent loss of our beloved kitty, Pippa - she adopted us 4 years ago, a scruffy lil bean with plenty of physical challenges who showed up at our door. We couldn't resist her, and having no idea how old she was or how long she'd be with us, we resolved to make whatever time she had with us as comfy and full of love as possible. I realized after her sudden passing, while assembling a photo montage of her for our screensaver, that I wished I taken more pictures and "movies" of her... there were so many unique things about her ~ her little swagger caused by a broken pelvic bone that happened and healed before she came to us, the non-stop purr that changed tonality after throat surgery to fix her breathing, the little head bumps she would give to get our attention when she wanted to be picked up and carried around...I resolved on the spot to pay more attention to my camera and document as much of the "mundane" routine things of our daily life, because one day, they will be priceless to our hearts.
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda

my latest epiphany is "Life is too short and when it's time, it's time...keep your mind open and have faith that it will all work out, because usually it does but never in a way we expect"
March 4, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterArya
The most current epiphany is that I must have one of these delicious, genius + sassy Epiphanie bags! ; )
