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.....

Updated - the winner was Stephanie of http://bigmariolife.blogspot.com/ - If you would like updates of further products, please follow us at facebook.

I'm a Canon girl! When I took my first darkroom class, my uncle loaned me his Canon AE-1. I started shooting with it and I've never looked back. I have been experimenting lots with Polaroid lately, but I am definitely a Canon girl!

I'm a Nikon girl ~ it just fits in my hands and feels ... well ... right. I love my camera like a third child. :)

Love my Canon and lenses! Started out on an Olympus SLR film camera and loved it but had to go Canon when I went Digital. My recent purchase of a Lensbaby Scout with Fisheye optic for my T2i is going to open up a whole new Canon world!

I'm a Canon girl... All the way... I now have 5 Canon SLRS... Three film and two digital... I have several other cameras too... But in the end, Canon has won my heart.

I'm a conflicted piece of work... Canon is my first love, but these days I'm shooting mostly with a Nikon. I love them both.
Guess I'm the odd duck of the bunch as I have always used Fuji....... with my latest being the FujiFilm FinePix HS10 with 30x optical zoom. I just love it!!!

Twenty years ago my dad gave me his Canon AE-1. I've stuck with Canon all these years since!

I'm a bit of a Nikon snob, but that's only because it's all I know. My former husband gave me my first Nikon body 25 years ago. I didn't need the lenses then because he had them all. But of course, I got few over the years. It's really about who's behind the camera though. ;->

Nikon girl! :) It's the first kind of SLR I learned to use, and it has always felt "right" to me.

Love the prints!

iPhone girl :-)

I'm an iPhone girl. Someday soon I hope to have the guts to be a Canon girl, but right now, when I need to shoot, I've got my iPhone in hand.
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterTori
I started 30+ years ago with Ricoh then Nikon and Pentax. Carried all 3. Since going digital It's Canon Rebel (handed off to my hubby), Canon Elph, and now Panasonic Lumix G3. Guess that makes me a PanaCan girl :)

I am definitely Canon. I bought a Nikon point and shoot, and had to take it back. It is like learning a whole new language. And I never thought I would say it, but Manual mode is the easiest way to shoot. All of the modes for pets etc leave me shaking my head.
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterRadish
Canon all the way baby!! Although the iphone is a super-fun adjunct, it cannot replace my 60D!

In the movie Stepmom Julia Roberts played a photographer, and when she was shooting a scene I noticed her equipment was Nikon. Since then, everytime I saw a photographer on TV or out in the real world Nikon would always be their brand. I associated Nikon with photography early on, so when the time came to purchase my new DSLR it wasn't a question of what brand I would go with. I used my friend's Canon the other day and it felt foreign in my hands...Nikon girl forever, love my Nikon! I feel a true bond with it. ♥

i love nikons...always will.

Proud Canon girl here :) my parents got me one for my high school graduation and I've been with them ever since.

I'm a Canon girl. I love my Canon cameras. I used to love my Polaroid when I was younger, though! :)

Nikon girl all the way ;-)

I'm a Canon girl......love. love. love. the prints. Super cute!
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterKristina
these are so much fun but do I have to choose?
my first love was kodak, then minolta, followed by fuji, and Nikon is my current main squeeze, with a little Pola & iphone on the side
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered Commenterdamiec
I'm a canon girl, for sure, but I know there's also a polaroid girl hiding inside :)
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterStephanie
I'm a Nikon girl... even though it goes against my mother's loyalty to Canon :)
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered Commenterstacy (the aunt with gum)
I'm a Canon girl for sure, although I do love me some classic Polaroid film.
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered Commentergingermandy
I have had Canon cameras for years. Not sure I could go any other way.
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered Commenterpatricia
I'm a Canon user :)

This is awesome! I'm a Polaroid girl! In fact, I have an art show currently running with some of my Polaroids on display in Detroit!

Polaroid Girl. :)
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterPoppy
I'm a Nikon girl. Growing up I always used Kodak or Polaroid, but when I decided to go digital I chose Nikon and I couldn't be happier. I do still have my old Polaroid, I should dig it it out and see I can get it to work :)
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterMandy
Well jeez, what about Panasonic? I'm a Lumix girl.

When I was in high school my boyfriend's uncle loved his Nikon. When I went to choose a camera I knew this would be the one. I love mine and couldn't imagine anything else. Definitely a Nikon Girl!
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered Commenterbeth
Converted to a Nikon girl now. Was a complete Cannon girl before.
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterEJN
i used to be a Pentax girl but am now defiantly a Nikon girl! - great prints!
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered Commenterkelly
I got my first DSLR this year and it's a Nikon - so i am definately a Nikon girl!
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterJeni
I'm a mix of photocapturing devices. I used to steal away with my parents Polaroid and return only when the film was gone. Many years later, my husband bought me a Nikon and I've had a wonderful love affair with it. I am currently stepping out on my Nikon with my Iphone4 . I'm fascinated with the fact that I can take a crystal clear shot similar to my Nikon yet with the next push of my finger have a photo that looks so 70's. Please, oh please, don't make me pick only one.

I will always be a Pentax 35 mm film girl but I am also a Nikon girl because it's just like my name :)
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterNa
While my serious camera is a Nikon, you might want to add a category - "I'm an iPhone girl."
January 20, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterWorthIt!
I currently use a Nikon DSLR but then get bored and use a vintage Canon AE-1, then I might get fickle and use a diana or my phone... I am a camera girl me.. a bit a of a photography slut!

Love these prints.. Fran is so clever! xxx

Bit of a canon girl really but I would love a polaroid camera x

I love these prints, they are amazing. And if I win, I'd very much like the 'Nikon girl' one!
