Hi! My husband, Steve, just published his first book and it was released last month by Quarry Books! But with all the goings-on of Summer Art Camp and Wes heading off to college, we decided to celebrate the publication this month instead.
We’re giving away two copies each day (one from this blog, and one from my facebook page). Leave comments in both places each day for a chance to win a signed copy of “Creative Photography Lab: 52 Fun Exercises for Developing Self Expression with Your Camera.“
* * *
Thank you, everyone, for all of the encouraging comments! And here’s another chance to win a copy of Steve’s book!
Leave a comment below for the chance to win a book. Winner will be selected randomly on Saturday, September 14. (And come back each day this week for more chances to win a copy of the book!)
Winner picked #25:
Herma: “Loved your Photo Silly Summer! I am sure your book is also lovable.”
