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.“
* * *
Hi, Carla here!
You might have noticed that I am listed as a “with” author of “Creative Photography Lab.” That’s because I contributed six, photo-related mixed-media projects/labs to the book!
This the spread for Lab 9 in “Creative Photography Lab,” called “Textured Photo Flags.” Click the image below to enlarge:
If you have some time, try it! (and post your images on the Creative Photography Lab flickr site, here.)
Thank you, everyone, for all of the encouraging comments! And here’s the LAST 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. We’ll pick the winners at 7pm PST, so check this blog to see if you won!
Winner picked #15:

Fabulous.
Book looks really great!
I’ve been taking photos for years-but I don’t know how to use the camera! I just aim and shoot. I’d love to learn how to really take photos! I’m thinking at my age- 69- would be a good time for me to do that!
I would LOVE to win a copy of Steve’s book. His photos are creative and gorgeous.
Thanks for the chance to win this book:)

I know this book is fabulous. Steve makes learning fun.
Well, possibly the “millionst” comment to win the book…but I try nevertheless!
I love the combination of photo and textile. My Giraffe -the sewing assignment – was made of Cotton printed with photos of my watercolour boxes. I love this technique! eva

hoping, hoping…love that they layout is similar to the friendly layout of Drawing Lab.
Thanks for the giveaway week!
Ready to make flags
My mom and I took your Photo Silly class a few years ago, we had so much fun. It would be great to be able to take Steve’s and your’s new book with me next time I visit her so we can have some more fun and learn even more photo things together!
I absolutely love this idea!! I would LOVE to win a copy of Steve’s book! It looks so fabulous! Thank you!!!
Félicitation pour votre livre, il me donne envie de faire plus de photos!
The flags looks like a fun project. Would love to see/do other projects in the book.

Hi Carla, I’ve been watching Helen’s photography improve while taking your husband’s online class. Sounds like a good book to own. I like your photo flags.
Inspiring images, looking forward to owning this book.
I love every thing about this book. I love photography and iphoneography. And I have been blocked for months now and I would love to start up again with Steve’s new book.
Love the 52 exercises idea like in your art books….would love to get picked for that. Every week fun!!
Looking forward to seeing the book.
Pick me, me, me, (hand in the air)! Would love some creative insight from Steve. Thanks. Ronda
Hi Carla and Steve, I didn’t realize till I read this post that you were a co-author Carla. And what an awesome project you shared here. I love it and would like to try this one. I am so lucky to be one of the winners of the new book and am excited to get my copy. I posted about it on my blog to spread the word. Thanks so much for this.
Cheers
