Sidewalk Vignette

I love to walk through my neighborhood, strolling up and down the little narrow streets.  Some are cobblestone, others paved, all with character and history and at night, each holds it's own little side show.  I suppose you might need a particular eye to enjoy or notice them, but even after over 20 years residing in Soho, it is a rare week I don't pass by something which makes me gasp.

Bird Boy

I've always been able to fly in my dreams.  It's come in handy whenever I needed to get somewhere fast, or (usually) to get away from bad people who wanted to harm me or worse.  Sometimes when I couldn't get up enough momentum, they'd hang on my feet, trying to pull me back down to the ground.  In such cases, I'd usually wake up, then, or the dream would simply fade to black.  As a child, I used to fantasize about being able to have this flying skill I had in my dreams.  There were so many times it would have come in handy.  :)  I've been doodling some Bird Boys, and Bird Girls lately; they have the skill, so they're able to walk around free of the silly fears which plagued my young school days.

We Have A Winner!

According to the drawing of our 27 entrants, Random.org has chosen #25.  That would mean Dava, aka Treasures From Hawaii.  Dava is also a Fan over at the sMacVision Facebook Fan Page as well, so that means she's won both prints.  Congratulations, Dava, and oh gosh, I'm so not good at this.  I wish I could give everyone a print.... thank you all for trying.  I will do this as often as I can, so don't feel it's a lost cause.  Next time there will be more than one giveaway (which some of you recall I've done in the past.)  That's much more fun, isn't it?  But let's not steal Dava's day away from her, either.... winning two things is something we all deserve, right?!!  Congratulations to you!!  :)

Facebook Fan Page Giveaways!

One lucky Facebook Fan Page fan will receive a print of "Ghost Bed" which is roughly an 8-inch square polaroid image printed on a standard A4 sized archival matte-finished photo paper.  To enter, one must be a Fan of sMacVision on Facebook (link on the right if you aren't one already) and leave a comment to this post.  That's all!

But wait!  What if I don't want to become a fan?  What if I just want to win something with no strings attached, you ask?  Well, I have something for you, too!  Non-fans will be entered *along* with fans for the runner-up drawing for a print of "Legs", a 5x7 inch photographic print with a slight border.

So, to clarify.  By commenting to this post you are entering to be in a drawing for "Legs", and if you happen to be a Facebook Fan Page fan of sMacVision (link on the right) you will also be entered for the drawing for "Ghostbed" as well.  Fans can win two items, non-fans one.  Winners drawn January 18, 2010 at 11pm EST.  Let the games begin!
