XSHOT Photo Contest at Affiliate Summit East 2009 August 9, 10 and 11

My friend @HeatherinBC of Beautiful British Columbia is the ASE09 Blogger Lounge Mistress/Liason and will be happy to show you how much fun it is to use the XSHOT Camera Extender! She also contributed this Guest post.

Contest Rules:

While attending Affiliate Summit East in New York, photograph XShot Camera Extender ‘users’ holding an XShot Camera Extender – or get someone to photograph you holding the XShot. Perhaps you will see Lady Liberty holding her XShot Camera Extender – now that would be a great shot!
The XShot Camera Extender MUST appear in the picture you submit!

HINT: IZEA Insiders have XShots and many bloggers do as well 🙂

Upload your photos to Flick’r and/or Facebook and use the two tags, ‘xshot and ase09’ on each photo. Enter as many unique, unusual, silly or picturesque photos as you wish.

Perhaps you will be lucky and get a group shot of all the bloggers hamming it up with their XSHOTS.

Prizes: Your very own XShot Camera Extender, PLUS a link to you or your blog from each of the bloggers taking part in the contest (think about THAT for a minute!), as well as your winning photo on each blog.

Winning photo will be voted upon by the bloggers hosting the contest, and will be chosen based on creativity. Contest ends August 11 at 6pm Eastern and the winner will be notified via Twitter or email, so be sure to leave a comment with your contact details on this post after entering.

Perhaps you will see @BrettBum from There’s Something About Harry using his XSHOT to take a photo of himself and Lady Liberty.

@ConnieFoggles of Brain Foggles might be spotted taking group pictures with her XSHOT while eating pizza at the MarketLeverage John Chow dot com Pho Pizza Party.

@Laurie_Pooh from La Vie de Laurie will surely have her XShot in hand while checking out the affiliate opportunities and all the fabulous SWAG in the Exhibit Hall.

If you spot @MurrayNewlands of Murray Newlands atop the Empire State Building with his XSHOT, you can bet he’ll be looking for King Kong!

@BenSpark (Drew) from BenSpark should be easy to find with his XSHOT now that you’ve seen his mug shot 10 times at the side of this post!

XSHOT has provided a promo code, ASE09HBC for a $5.00 discount, so you may buy YOUR OWN XSHOT because “YOU deserve to be in the picture too!”

Good Luck finding the XSHOT users – and most of all have FUN taking pictures at Affiliate Summit and in New York City!

Side note: I will have 12 Xshots at ASE09. I’m figuring out a creative way for people to win one from me. I think I’ve got it but we shall see. – Drew

Photo-A-Day #1506

I love having a day where you have nothing planned. We are such over-scheduled people that we sometimes cannot have fun in the moment because we have to rush off to something else. Today was one of those rare days where we had nowhere to be and no agenda. Rather than bum around the house we decided to take advantage of our Zoo New England passes. We took a ride into Boston to go to Franklin Park Zoo.

The zoo is nearly 100 years old (100 years in 2012) and it is one pretty nice zoo. There are many excellent exhibits and a wide variety of animals. We immediately saw Zebras and Wildebeasts in a large habitat. There were even viewing stations up high so that you could see the animals better. I think they should have had a few of those for some of the more exciting animals like the tigers or the lion though. We spent about 5 hours there walking around, taking photos, having lunch and of course riding the carousel. The carousel is Eva’s newest obsession. She never tires of it and she wants to ride by herself. She was pushing my hands and Allison’s hands off of that middle pole down each animal. We had to hold our hands directly behind her and out of sight to make sure that we were right there if she started to slip. She did not, she held tight and went round and round for 6 separate spins on the carousel. She rode the Lion, The Tiger, The Dog (2x) the Zebra and one of the horses. Get the all day pass and just keep riding, it is worth it at $6.00 if it makes your kid happy and it certainly made Eva one happy camper.
