So, if you have been watching TV lately, you might have seen the "actor", Ashton Kutcher, promoting Nikon D60 cameras. And pointing to a contest called "Making Memories".
Well, I entered and I made it to the finals. The top 120 finalists (which I'm part of) get voted on by the public and Nikon gives away 60 Nikon D60 cameras. That means I have a one-in-two chance of winning a D60. And the top prize is a trip to Hollywood.
The winner is based on the number of votes each photo gets - So, friends, if you like my shot, a vote would be appreciated! And if you choose, you can vote once a day! What's the saying, "vote early and vote often!"
Here's the link to view and if you feel so inclined, vote for me:

And here's what the shot looks like:
Funny thing, while I've got a couple of Nikon bodies, this shot was taken with a 6 year old 3mp Canon Point & Shoot (shot on manual).

I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

you might not want to mention the pic was from a canon body though
I've got to admit, seeing Ashton chimping during that commercial almost makes me deny that I'm a Nikonian.
But that's neither here nor there - congratulations and good luck!

I think I'm a longshot even though there are 60 cameras to be given away. I think others have been campaigning a lot more than I have for votes. I have a hard time asking others to vote for my entry in a photo contest but that's what they invited the finalists to do.
Here's the message I received when the finalists were announced:
Congratulations John.
You are a finalist in the Moving Moments Photo Contest!
Out of tens of thousands of submissions, your picture, "Holiday Magic Moment" captured something special and distinguished itself from the rest. Well done.
Your picture can be viewed here: http://www.ashtonsd60.com/<WBR>gallery.aspx#/?image=25580
Feel free to share this link with friends and family so they can vote for you. Remember, you may cast one vote per day per picture, and voting ends at 11:59am on July 15th.
The 60 contest winners will be announced at 12pm ET on July 23rd. So be sure to visit http://www.ashtonsd60.com to see if you’re one of them.
