Win an Epiphanie Bag and a Fuji Instax Mini

A few weeks ago Maggie invited me to a cocktail party sponsored by Federated Media. Maile, founder of Epiphanie Bags and one of the nicest people I’ve met in a long time, gave all of us attendees one of her camera bags as a party favor. There are three models in four colors; this one is mine.

The bags are, to quote my grandmother, “really something”. They’re camera bags, but they read like nice big purses so 1. you’re not lugging around an ugly camera bag to a party and 2. you’re not walking around, riding the subway, announcing to the world, “Yo! I have an expensive DSLR on me!”

For me, especially with my recent upgrade to a professional camera, it’s been a total game changer with the way I shoot. I don’t leave my camera home all the time because “it’s too heavy”. (The worst photo is the one you don’t take.)

Now, 90% of the time you see me, I’ve got my camera, big old flash and “a change of lenses” in my bag. It also fits all the other stuff I like to haul around: my wallet, gum, hand sanitizer, mini makeup kit, umbrella, pen, notebook, datebook, iPhone, headphones, bottle opener, business cards, wet wipes, bottle of water, bottle of ibuprofen, a light cardigan, a magazine and an extra pair of shoes… just in case. I don’t like to be unprepared, OK?! And yes, it all really fits in there.

I freakin’ love this bag. If you want to take a swing at winning the red Lola model, go over to Maggie’s blog and enter.

It gets better, too! Included in the bags was a Fuji Instax Mini camera and a pack of film, courtesy of Photojojo, and if you win, yours will ALSO have an Instax and some film inside.

Good luck, and have a wonderful weekend.
