I have given away lots of cameras in the past using Twitter or on Photofocus or with various sponsors. Today I am announcing the first official Picture Methods Camera Giveaway. And I am excited because it’s more than a camera giveaway. It’s a chance to win other cool prizes.

You want a new camera – but which camera? You want to make the best decision you can. You may turn to some of the popular and large online camera forums to get advice.

With a hat tip to Chris Brogan, I want to approach an important subject for photographers. There’s pretty much nothing more important to us than getting our work seen. The problem is, billions of photos are made and posted online every week. Who has time to look at OUR pictures? How can we stand out? Why aren’t we getting more traction with our online galleries?

Olympus is well-known for making some of the best glass available. That’s why at different times in my career I have relied on Olympus to help me make great photographs.
