20 Amazing Photography Deals and a $1200 Prize: Open for 1 Week Only

25 Dec

Screen Shot 2012 12 24 at 1 50 50 PMOn the 12th Day of Christmas dPS gave to me – one last chance to get all previous deals PLUS the chance to win $ 1200 in photographic gear!

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been launching a series of great daily photography deals to dPS readers. The savings this year were bigger than we’ve ever had before and we’ve had some really encouraging feedback from our readers – thanks so much for participating in the fun this year.

As our final deal we’re opening all of the deals in this years campaign back up so that those of you who may have missed one have one final chance.

And because it is Christmas Eve (and in some parts of the world is already Christmas Day) and many of our readers are away for a few days we’ve decided to leave all of these deals open until the calander clicks over to 2013 (Eastern US time).

Not only that – we’ve also convinced 9 of last years partners to reopen their deals for one last time too as a bonus.

We’re also excited to share with you a prize that’s up for grabs to anyone who has snapped up one of more of the deals (more on that below).

So if you head to the 12 Days of Christmas page you’ll now see a whopping 2 deals are open!

Here’s what you can get your hands on as a last minute Christmas gift for a loved one (or yourself)!

Note: we’re hearing from a lot of readers that they’re giving our eBooks as gifts by downloading them onto USB sticks and wrapping the USB sticks up as the present – loaded up with some great photography education.

John Clement Art Prize Sculpture at Castle 8-12-09 1

A few nice visual art images I found:

www.artprize.org/artist/id/1568

John Clement has been creating sculpture for fourteen years. While he worked towards a MFA at the School of Visual Arts, he did not complete it preferring instead to apprentice to Mark Di Suevero which lead to his love of steel. From 1994 to the present, John’s curvilinear steel sculptures have appeared in exhibitions in California, New York, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Kanas, Connecticut , Canada, China and Japan. He has permanently installed sculptures in Vancouver, Staten Island, San Francisco, Houston, Macon Georgia, Des Moines, Delray Beach and Palm Springs. Additionally, John has participated in the Vancouver Sculpture Biennale in Canada, The Klenova Sculpture Symposium in Prague,The Czech Republic, the Ubu Sculpture Biennale in Japan, and the Zhengzhou International Sculpture Exhibition in China. Solo exhibitions of his works have been hosted by Buschlen Mowatt Fine Art, Tricia Collins Contemporary Art and Gallery Sonja Roesch.
Artist statement: My sculptures are three- dimensional realizations of imaginary forms. I rely heavily on the artistic process, allowing the work to evolve and mature, eventually become self- referential. Although many of my works are site -specific their form does not directly rely on the surrounding architecture or landscape. The clearly defined positive and negative space of the work, combined with its scale, creates a new framework in which the surroundings can be experienced through the sculpture.

Curvilinear forms of coiled and welded steel, tangential and intersecting, best characterize my work. I choose to work with steel and approach the material first as an artist and second as a craftsman. The success of my work does not rely upon gimmicks or trickery in the materials, but on the implied movement and strength of form of each individual piece. The bright, primary colors used to paint the work serves to bring the form of the work to the forefront, enhancing the sense of the work leaping fro
