That video was HILARIOUS!!! Big props to "#9!" :o)
Fun contest! Thank you SOOOO much for the phone!
Sarah Merritt (07-02-2009 at 1:42pm):
This is GREAT!! I think this guy deserves an iPhone just for the creativity!
Pam Long (07-01-2009 at 11:50pm):
So creative and funny! Great job #9! Way to go the extra mile!!
Tracey (07-01-2009 at 11:45pm):
I love love love this guy! How awesome is this? He TOTALLY deserves a new iPhone!
THE WINNER IS #11!!
Allison and I want to thank everyone who entered the contest and participated by voting on your favorite image. The response was so much more than we expected.
The winner of Allison's battle hardened 16gig 3G iPhone is #11. It was an EXTREMELY close race between 9 and 11. There were some issues late last night where some multiple votes being cast, so I reset the poll to where the two pics that were clear leaders could be voted on today. It was very interesting to watch this develop. Allison and I definitely want to have another contest soon, maybe next week. Next time I will have a better idea on what to expect.
I am trying to get a new 3Gs to give away but AT&T has made it so difficult now. I will let you know what I find out.
The winning image: #11

Andrea Reed (07-02-2009 at 10:25am):
Congrats #11!!! Awesome picture! :D
Tracey (07-01-2009 at 11:48pm):
Love the mom and kids - such a sweet picture - If I didn't know how bad #9 needed that phone this is the picture I would have voted for! Congrats #11 - This contest was fun for our whole church.
scot (07-01-2009 at 9:21pm):
Thanks for a great contest. We had fun! Check out our video we posted on You Tube. Glad #11 gets the iphone. As a father of three boys their pic was awesome. Have a great week!

Regina McDermott (07-01-2009 at 8:22pm):
I vote for #22!!She's Gorgeous!!
Leigh Ann (07-01-2009 at 7:10pm):
Thank you for the super fun contest!! It has been an exciting two days at our house. Although my husband, #9, did not win, we could not be happier for the beautiful mom who did win! I'm sure she will enjoy her new iphone. And we can't wait for the next one...
Ricky (07-01-2009 at 6:31pm):
You could do an Apple Gift Card for $199. Then whoever wins can get the phone on their own terms. Great contest...ARP's the best.

SELF PORTRAIT CONTEST
UPDATE: 7-1-09 RUN OFF
There were some issues with multiple votes last night after midnight. Before this happened there were 2 clear leaders, #9 and #11.
I am opening the poll back up and letting just these two be voted on. The one with the most votes by 5pm central will be announced as the winner.
Thanks!
J
CONGRATULATIONS TOP 15!!!!!!
We just couldn't cut it anymore...
YOU guys are in charge of the voting. So, send all of your friends this link so they can vote for YOU!
VOTING ENDS WEDNESDAY AT MIDNIGHT! Our winner will be announced Thursday July 2nd!
Note:
All images were taken with a cell phone and processed in phone. Or at least they all said that is the case. : ) The winner gets Allison's much loved 16gig 3G. The nicks and dings are only there to show how much she loved the phone.

UCI (07-01-2009 at 5:09pm):
The 65 kids at the UC Irvine Computer Camp would like to congratulate #11 (our director's cousin) on her victory. Glad we could help! And, we didn't vote 'til today...not sure about the inconsistencies from yesterday...so please don't blame us, just b/c we like computers.
Brenda, Kerri & Kimmi (07-01-2009 at 3:52pm):
Scott, we are voting for you and having everyone we know vote. It is a great picture. it tells the type of man you are.

Carmen Swilley (06-30-2009 at 7:34pm):
Oh my gosh, Scott! That is a wonderful pic!!! gave me chills!!
Tonya Williams (06-30-2009 at 7:23pm):

JR Clark (06-30-2009 at 6:22pm):
#3 is my brother and could definitely use the iphone. Im still a little lost as to why some people who already have iphones would enter.
Debra Svarnas (06-30-2009 at 3:08pm):

I saw where you guys recommmended a point and shoot camera. Do you like this for action? Because I have problems with mine and I can't keep my kids still. I was just wondering how you liked yours.
Hey Allison,
Kim and I were just talking about you and she mentioned your website to me so I had to check it out myself. WOW, you're awesome!!! You go girl, I always knew you'd make it big with your work.
I'll have to see if I can reserve you to do some photos of my new baby once he/she gets here in the fall! Would love to say to my new little one that my old college roommate took these amazing photos of you!
So proud of you- take care....Kylie
Hi Allison! I am SO happy that you are my wedding photographer. You are amazing and I can't wait to work with you!
:) Megan
Just thought you'd want to know - when trying to load your blog onto my iPod Touch it crashes the iPod. No big deal.
Really looking forward to streaming your recent Webinar with Viohl.
Best,
Steve Fogarty
Hi, I've been a typepad user for a number of years and I love your lay out. How do you do it? The tabs especially.
Hey guys,
I finally found you through a marathon newsletter. We are photographers in the Destin, FL area and we ran into you guys at Rosemary Beach during a shoot. We tried to look for you after to give you our info, but you guys were no where to be found. Anyway. I love your stuff. You guys are really talented and it was a pleasure meeting you both.
Take care,
Hannah
