An Afternoon With HomeGrownPH

The Wife, @Reina_Reyes, gave a talk at the HomeGrownPH at the Ayala Museum. Other notable women also shared their insights on the values of being a woman, how to better themselves, and how to simply get what they want and deserve. A lone dude also gave a talk about the women around him... :)

These are my photos.

It was a fun afternoon and I am glad the wife took me to such an event. :)

The Winner of the Lowepro Photo Hatchback AW

is @TurboPix, aka Kevin Miller, with this entry:

"@turbopix #PhotoHatchbackAW Love lowePro but can you imagine running around town with this on your shoulder?"

Once again, special thanks go to Derrick Story, Yvonne Petro and Suzanne Knowlton of Lowepro for providing the bag and for letting me host the contest on my blog.

And to Kevin, enjoy your new bag! :)

Win a Lowepro Bag!

Here’s your chance to win a Lowepro Photo Hatchback AW!

It's the new bag from Lowepro that's perfect for traversing the urban jungle or hiking your favorite nature get-away. There's a padded camera compartment that can fit your DSLR with lens attached, an extra lens and a speedlite. The roomy upper compartment can house your wind breaker, a book, and whatever small accessories you need with you when you walk around. And there's an all-weather cover just in case you run across some inclement weather.

The camera is accessed from a body-side opening - no prying hands, other than yours, will be able to get to your precious gear.

And if you need just a regular backpack, you can remove the camera compartment and you can fit in more of your personal stuff inside.

And there's even room for an iPad!!!

------------

The rules to enter are simple. And you have three different ways to participate. (And yes, you can choose just one way, or do all three.)

First Way!

• Send me a tweet at @garybc telling me why you'd love to have this bag.
• Don't forget to use the hashtag #PhotoHatchbackAW in the same tweet.

Second Way!

• Not on Twitter? No problem.
• Share a photo of your current camera bag on Instagram and tell me why you need the Lowepro Photo Hatchback.
• Again, don't forget to use the hashtag #PhotoHatchbackAW in your Instagram post.

Third Way!

• Not on Twitter or Instagram? Just add a comment to this blog about how you’d use the bag if you won.

We’ll randomly select a winner on Tuesday, November 27. The winning comment will be posted here on twitter and on my Facebook page.

This contest is open internationally, but void where prohibited. One winner will be chosen randomly. Good luck!

Special thanks to Derrick Story, Yvonne Petro, and Suzanne Knowlton of Lowepro for sponsoring the bag and for choosing my blog to hold this contest.
