One of the other presents that Scott got me for my birthday was a Gorillapod. It is basically a mini tripod that you can carry with you in a purse or backpack or camera bag. You can set it on a table or wrap it around a pole.

I have been wanting one for a while, and just haven’t ever ordered one. I am excited to try it out and see what it can do for my photography. Maybe now I can work on setting it up with my timer and actually getting some photos of myself. I was working on my scrapbook photos yesterday and I was reminded that I need to do better at that. There are almost no pictures of me in the scrapbooks or anywhere else. The only ones I have are ones from Peekaboo Photos or that my mom took. (By the way, if you click on the Peekaboo Photos link, you will see that Ian is their poster child )

I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but I am looking forward to seeing what I can do with it.

I found a new website called Parentography. They are giving away a Gorillapod to one lucky winner. All you have to do to win it is to link to their site on your blog. The contest ends on November 15 at midnight. Hurry and check it out!
