  • Wow, it's been three months since you announced the winners of your contest and I still haven't received the Black Rapid Strap. I wonder if it got lost in the mail?

    Thanks Guys!
  • I had two different people tasked with sending them out and after getting emails from two other people last week I personally went to the UPS store and put four into the mail myself since I assumed if two people didn't get them that nobody else did either. If you don't have it in the next few days please email or call me and let me know.
  • Luis_LS
    Thanks, It is a great surprise, I got a "Marc Fuller Website Theme". It is fantastic.

    How can I get instructions for get it?

    Thanks a lot,
    Luis
  • Paul M.
    I didn't win. I'm never listening to your great podcast again. OK, I will.

    Hey, keep up the great work guys!
  • This is awesome!!! Now I just need to get a real web site up to host my new promo video; all I have now is an Exposure Manager site.

    I still can't believe it.

    Wow!

    Thanks a lot guys!

    -Scott Richardson
  • Sweet! Thanks you guys! I'll totally use the presets! Congratulations again on a successful year! : )
  • Hey Sara,

    You don't need to regift, just come on in to the Lightroom water. It's warm & cozy. LOL! When we looked at the list last night - the two of us were like - HUH? R U kidding? Totally crazy that happened & I'm stoked that you joined in on the event too.

    Cheers!
  • Is this a joke? Ha! Ha! I would win lightroom presets. What am I going to do with those? There is always regifting. ;) Thanks guys!
  • I actually didn't realize how funny it was that you won the presets until we were recording the show. Blame random.org. :)
