FREE Giveaway! Win a thinkTANK Retrospective 20 Camera Bag!

Update 2-27-12: Congratulations to John Barduhn for winning the giveaway! His tip was: “Always say “Thank You“. Stay tuned for our next giveaway soon ;)

thinkTANK Photo has generously provided a Retrospective 20 Shoulder Messanger Bag ($167.75 value) for a give-away on the blog! You can have the chance to either win a version in Pinestone or Black (I prefer the Pinestone color). They make fantastic street photography bags, as they don’t look like camera bags (thus you can be more discrete). If you want a smaller bag, also check out the Retrospective 5 (good for street photographers with a Leica or Micro 4/3rds system).

To enter this giveaway, all you need to do is:

Share your #1 street photography tip (in 7 words or less)

There are three ways to enter (the more ways you enter, the more chances to win!):

  1. “Like” me on Facebook and share your tip on my wall!
  2. Tweet your response, and include the following text anywhere in the tweet:
  3. Leave a comment below!

This contest will end Friday, Feb 24th, 2012. We’ll randomly pick a winner and announce it on the blog!
