I am beyond giddy to tell you that we are giving away a Lensbaby today.  I know, you're jumping up and down too, aren't you? isn't it so exciting?

Ever since I heard about the amazingness of Lensbaby Lenses it was instant infatuation. And then I got my hands on one and it's everything I had hoped for and more; the ideal photography partner of the most fun and creative kind. Each time I use it I am delighted by beautiful surprises and irresistible unpredictability. I can only liken it to photographic poetry. Look at that bokeh up there. Are you swooning yet? And what about how well it translates to black and white? Sigh. I even take my baby on vacation with us. That's how much I love it. I'm just sayin'.But you don't have to take my photo word for it. It seems there are some Lensbaby fans in our Flickr Pool too. Check out these gorgeous images by Lifeography, Jamza, Donna and work2snap. Wow!

Of course, a lot has changed since the birth of theLensbaby a few years back. They have a brand new site that is a pleasure to explore and a variety of babies too. Not to mention cool accessories. Everything you ever wanted to know and more about what Lensbaby is all about is offered at the site. If that's not enough to have you yearning for your very own baby, I'm sure today's giveaway will.

One incredibly lucky reader will get a $270 credit to spend at the Lensbaby web store any way they'd like. It's heaven I tell you. Just leave a comment here to be entered in our random drawing.
