Have you ever felt deeply grateful for a gift or talent or interest and wanted to share it with someone?...that's how I feel about photography...and it is one of the reasons I am doing another giveaway...
This time the giveaway item is a Canon EOS Rebel T3i (camera body only...kit lens not included)...of course, the one I'm giving away is not the new one you see if you click through to the link...
And it is my own lovingly used camera body...the one with which I first learned to shoot in manual mode...and please don't ask about the shutter count, because I have no idea...what I do know is that the camera is in extremely good condition...has a long life ahead of it...comes with everything, except the lens, that was in the original box...and maybe it will be yours...
So here's the deal...because it is about to be Thanksgiving...because it is good to be thankful no matter what day it is...because I'd like it go to someone who really wants it...I'm going to make it very easy for one lucky someone to become its new owner...and I'll ship it anywhere in these contiguous United States...
I ask only two things...first...and I will take this on faith...you want this camera for personal use or as a gift for someone you know would love to own it...not to trade it in for cash or let it languish in the box unused...and, second, you write a comment to this post...a Facebook comment won't count...that give thanks for one idea, feeling, person, place, thing you are feeling gratitude for this Thanksgiving...one comment per person please...
I haven't yet decided how I'll choose the winner...maybe I'll use a random number generator like the last time...or maybe you will write a comment so endearing...so full of grace...that it speaks to me in the small voice that says "give it to this one"...or maybe you will be the only commenter...in which case the camera with be yours...
All comments posted before midnight PST on Wednesday, November 27, 2013 will be included in the pool of comments from which a final winner is selected...I'll announce the winner by 5PM PST on Friday, November 29th...
Who knows?...there might even be a surprise in the package when you get it...
PS...I moderate all comments...which means they don't post until I approve them...if you don't see yours right away, don't worry...I'll get to it soon...
