you spin me right ’round

So you saw the My Funky Camera party invitation below – but did you drop by Facebook to try and win a FREE camera strap and get the discount code?

If you follow my Flickr stream, you’ve seen the Verbatim vinyl hub-printable CDs I recently product-tested.

As a birthday gift for everyone, I’m putting a template up for download for the Verbatim #94550 CD-R. You’re on your own to change the colors – but text can be edited in the layered .psd file. I designed it to print on the HP Photosmart C309a printer (but you’re more than welcome to try it with yours). Please note I do not provide product support for free downloads. Template was designed for use with Photoshop CS2 and above.

For more info on the CDs, printer, and packaging please see my Flickr stream.

Thanks for a great first year! I’ll see you back here SOON!

the party just got Funky

If you didn’t believe me that it was worth it to check back often you’ll be sorry!

My Funky Camera is throwing a Paperie-party over at Facebook today. Paperie readers get 10% off on all orders through Saturday, July 17th (see here for more details, and go here to order) – and one lucky commenter will get a free strap!

So go there, but don’t forget to check back here! Happy birthday to us!

we’re gonna score tonight

It’s no secret that I love my two jill-e bags. (I have the small leather and the large suede rolling.) I sing their praises quite often, not only for how much they carry, but also how protected they carry the cargo.

But for the upcoming weekend I wanted something “tiny” – something “camera only”. Tiny is usually not a luxury afforded to DSLR users. I also didn’t want it to scream “please steal my camera / bag”. And of course I wanted it to protect my camera and lens. Oh yeah, and be cute. No problem, right?

Thankfully my needs were met the instant I hunted around the Photojojo store and found their Bad-Ass Bowler Camera Bag.

The inside view in the photo above shows my Nikon D200 (sans grip) with a Nikon 12-24mm f/4G lens attached. The bag also comes with a removable divider (more photos at Photojojo) just in case you should require such a thing. Oh yeah, and it also comes with a cute plastic dinosaur (and is conveniently designed in OU’s school colors). Can’t forget that!

Nothing like a little shiny patent leather to make a girl all happy and smiley. Let’s bowl, let’s bowl, let’s rock-’n'-roll!
