what girl are you?

We are all photographers together, yes?

....but we do divide into smaller group depending what we like to shoot and the gear we shoot with... Canon, Nikon, Polaroid, Pentax, Olympus, Rollei, iphone....the list goes on.... and that’s what makes us all so uniquely different.

While I was on the shutter sisters Camp, I noticed the conversations between the ladies “oh I’m a Canon person", "I've always have been Canon...” or “I’m a Nikon” (although pronounced different on either side of the pond!)... "Nikon is the best" and there were so many proud “Polaroid girls...” saying "My heart belongs to Polaroid"

I shared this with a dear friend of mine and it sparked into a new collaboration to celebrate what you shoot with. We have created prints and badges/buttons for you to be proud of who you are. I am a Canon girl..... and know some of you are Nikon girls and Polaroid girls...

As we're so excited about this new project, we’d love to offer one print of your choice to you lovely girls out there, all you've got to do is tell me what girl you are.....Canon, Nikon, or Polaroid or something else in the comments below.... You have until tomorrow Sat 21st Jan midnight PST.....

I've always been a Canon girl, ever since I saw my Mama with one anywhere we ever went. So from a early age, the attraction was set. I love my Canon.

I'm a Nikon girl. Since I was a little girl my dad shot with a Nikon and when I was old enough he started passing down his old equipment and started teaching me how to use it. It would take a lot to convince me to change camera brands simply because of the memories associated with Nikon.

I'm a Canon girl through-and-through. Though if I can get my hands on a friends Nikon, I like to have a play!

My heart forever belongs to Polaroid. This has been an issue of heartbreak for me as film has disappeared and costs have risen. I have been forced to question if without it I am still an artist. yes, I shoot Nikon and iPhone too but I really am a Polaroid girl. :)

im a bit of everything - canon (film) slr, nikon dslr, lomography holga and fisheye, camera phone, fuji instax mini and i'm sure i'll inherit hundreds of antique kodaks but as the Nikon isn't even out of the box yet i say "i'm a nikon girl"!!
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered Commenterbrandi
What fun!! And - I'm definitely a Nikon girl!
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterMarcie
I do not really discriminate, but I am currently a NIKON GIRL purely because I held it and I liked the feel of it, very techno reason I know..so that's how it happened for me.

I'm a Canon girl...since September 2011... However, I have lusted after Polaroid for years, and I finally have an old camera... I'm torn! But I'd say, yeah, I'm a Canon girl :)

i started off as a canon girl
then i turned into an iPhone girl
i am longing (and learning) to be an analog girl, using my father's old Olympus OM gear
but at the moment, thanks to Tracey Clark's advice and my father's generous gift, i am most definitively
an OLYMPUS PEN P3 girl!!!

Since going digital I'm a Canon girl but I will admit to first being a Pentax girl and progressed to NIkon when I still shot film. BUt I did get rid of all my Nikon gear to by my Canon and I do love it. But I did swipe my boyfriend's old Nikon Em the other day when he said he was going to get rid of it the other day! :)
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterAnne Littlebird
Canon. Other than very low quality point and shoots for which I don't even remember the brands, I have always had Canon gear.

Today I'm Nikon all the way (including my lenses), but I did start out many years ago with a Pentax ME-Super film camera (may have to drag that thing out again).

I'm currently a Nikon girl. I love the weight of ny DSLR. But my point and shoots are always Canons :-)
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterDawn
I'm a Canon girl only because I had a Canon film camera and several lenses so the transition naturally went Canon.
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterBecky Sue
After lots of thought and trying out different cameras, I became a Nikon girl.
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterLisa Robinson
I'm a canon gir,l ever since a girlfriend gave me a great recommendation for my fabulous point and shoot! Now I love my rebel!
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterJessica

Those prints are so amazing! Canon-girl here!
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterKendra
Nikon... by virtue of my sports-photography hubby's hand-me-downs. :)
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered Commenteryzzilyzzid
I'm just a plain ol' camera girl. I firmly believe the best camera you have is the one you have on you at the time...be it a Nikon, Canon, Polaroid or iPhone. Just getting the shot is all that matters.
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer M.
i am a nikon girl. :) xanthe, these are so cute.
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered Commentermary
who says you can't be more than one? i've been a nikon girl since i was a kid, starting with my dad's old nikkormat. i still use a D40, but i love my polaroids too. especially the SLR 680. just wish the film wasn't so pricey.
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered Commentertheresa
I am a canon girl - always have been. I had 8 canon film cameras (I am old school- love film) and since going digital I am still a canon girl. I do play around with my Polaroid, and toy cameras but love canon.
Honestly though I believe the best camera you have is the one you use... to me it's the photographer's eye not the camera that matters.

I'm a Nikon girl :) My husband has a work issued Nikon and we fell in love with it, so it made sense for me to get something I was already comfortable with. This Christmas, I got my first new lens! A 50mm AF-S f/1.8 and I can't tell you how much I adore it!
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered Commenter@BrookeWrites
Nikon girl here! Love these prints, absolutely adorable. xo.

I find so much inspiration on this site. I'm a Nikon girl!

Definitely a Canon girl!!! I picked up a Nikon before I picked up my Canon, and it didn't feel right.
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterDawn
Hi I've been following for ages but never posted before :-o I'm a Canon girl with a little bit of Hipstamatic thrown in!!

January 20, 2012 | Unregistered Commenterclaudia
I have actually owned both. I have had a Canon Rebel xTi and now own a Nikon D5100. If I had to choose a favorite, I would be a Nikon girl. Just love the way the camera feels :)
