First things first. We have the next Snail Mail Collective Pairings up and ready to go! We had over 155 people sign up this month! Each month I love reading about your partners, seeing your tweets and the general excitement over meeting someone new. After all, I believe that's what blogging is all about. Not the numbers, not the hope of blogger fame, but the inevitable friendships that are made from people that were once perfect strangers. Click on the link below to find out who your partner for this month is! Pairings are at the bottom of this post. Please take a moment to read the rules of this program and to figure out what to do next:  1.  The theme for this month is 'Back to School' 2. You have   72 hours  to communicate with your partner.

One thing I hate when traveling is sticking out as a  tourist. Sometimes this can't be helped but other times, just the smallest adjustment can make all of the difference. Like using one of the beautifully made ONA camera bags . They're sleek, compact and durable and they make for the perfect bags to take with you on trips or just around town. Which brings me to: The season of 'GO GO GO' is upon us, so why not GO in style? That's why I've teamed up with some very lovely ladies to  give away one ONA Bowery Canvas camera bag,  Little Miss Gee camera strap and a Starbucks gift card (because we all know coffee is needed when we go anywhere .) These are such great bags to carry all of your camera gear in without screaming 'tourist' wherever you go! Enter below for your chance to win and spread the word!
