Some days ago I decided to give away one of my extra superheadz plastic 22mm lens cameras (Vivitar UWS). I did a blog entry on the idea and I've been twittering away, asking for deserving folks to be nominated. They were a little slow coming, but I finally got the minimum 5 entries I told myself I wanted before I would give the camera away.
It's been pretty hard making the choice, so I guess it's good I only received the 5 entries. I didn't have any clear criteria for choosing the winner, but I did consider the nominating message and the work the nominated person was doing already. Not that it was a matter of choosing the "best" photographer. I'm not qualified to do that. No, it was more about who's work I'd like to see using the prize camera.
So, in the end, I chose the person nominated by @plasticcamera from twitter. She is on flickr as Pomegrantacat. Take a look at her flickr stream, see if you don't agree that the camera will be well placed with her.
Congratulations to her. As soon as I can figure out her address, I'll ship the camera and roll of Ektar...then hide and wait to see the results.
Thanks to the folks who did the nominating. I do appreciate that you took the time to think of somoene deserving of a little random goodness.
I am interested in this contest. Good luck to all participants but I am sure all photos will be great.
