#SwagsGiving – Fotobox Slideshow Creator

The second prize in my Swag Bag for SwagsGiving is the gadget and software bundle Fotobox Plus (aff link). Allison won this in a giant box of swag from Jennifer Leet from The Dirty Shirt. Congratulations to Brendan Recupero of no time 2 ride.

About the prize: A plug and play product to make photo slideshows quickly and easily directly from your memory cards. The box includes an SD card reader with software built in to make slideshows. I’m not keeping it because I’ve already got a way in which to make slideshows. Looks like a pretty sweet product though because it can make the slideshows and immediately port them to Facebook and YouTube. You can also easily add background music and different effects and use themes. Hmmm, maybe I might want to keep this…

About SwagsGiving!

SwagsGiving is going to happen each day from November 1 to November 30th. Each day I’ll put up a SwagsGiving post explaining how to participate. The post will also have an announcement of the previous days winner plus what the person won. Here’s the twist. You won’t know what you are winning until it is announced. I have prizes from Seagate, Kodak and Toy State as well as books, and various other prizes. So, here are the rules.

Today is your second chance to enter to win a prize from my SwagsGiving event. Remember to come back each day to see if you won and to enter for the next day’s SwagsGiving Prize.

I will not respond to any comments so that I can run the Random.org numbers correctly. Any trackbacks are unapproved while I select the random winner and then re-approved after. Only legitimate entries are counted. You have until midnight to enter for that day’s prize. Once midnight rolls around (or as early the next morning as possible) I will close the comments. Each morning at 9:00am the new #SwagsGiving post will go up. The winner will be notified via e-mail and will have 48 hours to reply with a U.S. Mailing address so that we can send the winner their prize. Contest is open to U.S. Only. Prizes will be mailed out at the end of the month. You may win more than once. Please enter every day on the SwagsGiving post for that day.

Episode #2 Of the Photo-A-Day Podcast

I still haven’t figured out how to set up my podcast to go onto iTunes and figure that instead of worrying too much about that I’d keep making the videos every few days because it is going to take me a while to catch up to current. If I did this once a week it would take me 5 years to get to the point that I am now currently shooting so I’m going to step it up a bit and produce whenever I can, a couple of times each week if I can.

Episode #2 Photo-A-Day Podcast from BenSpark on Vimeo.

For over Five Years I have been taking a photograph every single day. I’ve used Kodak, Canon, Nikon, DROID, Sanyo, and many others to take these photos. Because I have so many I decided to go back through the collection and start posting them with commentary. I am looking for photographers who might like to talk with me and record a show via Skype. Contact me if interested. I can be found at BenSpark.com. Here are some of the links to the photos mentioned.
