{Giveaway 2 of 10} READ TO END TO WIN A THINK TANK BAG, valued at $200.

As I reflect this month on the past 10 years of my art, I can remember such vivid highs and lows.

I remember whole years where I was mostly ashamed of what I produced (hello 2013) and years where I couldn’t be more proud of what I accomplished in business (also hello 2013). I remember winning contests and meeting Ron Howard and exhibiting with Jerry Eulsmann, and I equally remember being turned away from galleries, being told I’m not a real artist.

I remember traveling to so, so many places – me, a homebody, who never thought she’d travel anywhere. I remember closeness I felt in Scotland, the connection in Cambodia, the freedom of riding on the backs of motorcycles in Bali and India. I remember a freezing night in the snow on a mountaintop in Argentina. The days of my first workshops in London, in Berlin, in soaking in the most glorious rain shower in Amsterdam.

I started photography the same year I graduated college, got married, and decided to move away from Pennsylvania. I couldn’t have imagined where life would take me then. I was 21. It was all such a terrifying and exciting mystery. From the tiniest, dirtiest apartment in LA to a house that I love in a small mountain town now, photography has been my guiding light.

It brings me great pleasure to give away a an UltraLight Dual 36L Think Tank bag today as part of my 10 days of giveaways. Comment to win the $200 bag by sharing what has surprised you most from your own journey.
