A Gathering of the Minds...

I had the opportunity of a lifetime on Feb 3rd to be able to utilize a studio and talk shop with other photographer's.  It was definitely a decision I wouldn't regret.

Ali Hohn over at Rock the Drops (Facebook and website) and Ali Hohn Photography (Facebook and website) decided that since so many photographer's live near her, why not have a little party?  And that's exactly what happened.

You can view the photos in a moment.  I have to mention this one little thing.  Out of the 15 or so photographers that were there...I was the only guy.  I'm still a little scarred by the amount of estrogen from that day...

 Enjoy!

Leap Year Giveaway

With 2012 being filled with the presidential race, economic uncertainty, the end of world of the as we know it and a Leap Year, now is a good time as ever to forget about all that and focus on what's important. Family. So until February 29th, we're gonna play a little game.

Not a bad deal if you ask me!

Here's how the game is going to work.
Entry ends on February 29th, 2012
You will gain 1 entry into this giveaway for EACH of the following actions you do (you can one or all): (UPDATE: Make sure to TYPE @AMP Studios otherwise it won't show up!)

FOR EXISTING FANS

1. Copy and Paste this into your status update: "I just gained 1 entry into the @AMP Studios Leap Year Giveaway!  I want family photos done so help me win!  You can win too!  Just tell them I sent ya!"
2. Comment on the above photo on Facebook under the "Promotions" album saying: "DUH!  WINNING!"
3. "Like" Uptown Sound on Facebook and write "@AMP Studios sent me!" (if you already "Like" them, just write on their wall.)

FOR NEW FANS

1. "Like" our Facebook page
2. Copy and Paste this into your status update: "I just gained 1 entry into the @AMP Studios Leap Year Giveaway!  I want family photos done so help me win!  You can win too!  Just tell them I sent ya!"
3.  "Like" Uptown Sound on Facebook and write "@AMP Studios sent me!" (if you already "Like" them, just write on their wall.)

FOR EVERYONE

1. Each time you refer someone, you get 1 ADDITIONAL entry - no limit!
2. If we get 229 fans by February 29th, EVERYONE will get an additional entry

That's it!  Like I said, you don't need to do ALL of those of things to gain an entry.  You can do just one of them or you can do all of them.  But just remember, the more the merrier!

Now for the fine print...

1. No double dipping.  This would include multiple comments on the photo, multiple status updates...you get the idea
2. New fans CANNOT do the existing fans requirements
3. The winner will be decided using random.org
   
4. If you are the winner, you will have 14 days to contact me through email, Facebook or phone to claim your prize.  If you do not, someone else will be decided.
5. You may transfer the prize to someone else, just let me know.
6. Prize must be redeemed by July 31st, 2012
7. If you refer someone, they MUST "Like" our Facebook page AND tag you in a wall post saying that YOU referred them.

Ok, that's everything guys.  There is no limit on how many people you can refer, but make sure to tell them to read the rules.  I want this to be as fair and fun as possible for everyone.  Good luck everyone!



Cheers and Allons-y,
