I was so inspired by the  thoughtful and insightful comments shared on my post the other day posing the question, "what is photography to YOU." Awesome stuff sisters! You, as always totally inspire me!

And so, in honor of  the creative spark of conversation and the art of composition we are doing a giveaway today for one complimentary registration for my e-class of the same name. The super-fun twist is that there's actually 3 ways to win! 3 is the magic number afterall (at least compositionally speaking).

Beyond our giveaway, I'm hosting a giveaway on my own blog this weekend too and the lovely and talented Ali Edwards is giving a spot away next weekend as an added bonus. That is 3 spots up for grabs in the next week! Woohoo! Be sure to leave a comment on all the posts to better your odds of winning.

I'm more excited than ever about the class and all the wonderful things we're going to cover in The Art of Composition.

Today, all you need to do is leave your comment here between now and 8pm PST on Sunday for a chance to win a seat in the front roll of class (virtually that is).  And while you're here, we'd love to see some of your compositional handiwork. Got a shot to share? You know we'd love to see it.

...........

And the winner is...

Arin S. YAY! Congrats! And thanks to everyone for your comments.
