thank you so much to everyone who voted for the sparkability eames giveaway contest! it was such an honor to see so many beautiful homes and to have such a nice turnout for the voting. so, who will be taking home a new modernica rocker of their choice? drumroll please…..

the corcoran family! this crafty levitating family took the lead from day one and held strong throughout the rest of the voting period. when describing their photo, shane corcoran said, “this shot was set up by my wife lisa l corcoran. she placed our camera on the tripod and told us: “ok; everyone please levitate like criss angel taught us.” it was a lucky shot…freezing our son, mateo blue corcoran (a.k.a buzz light yr.) into a photo when he is zipping around is very close to impossible.”

other crowd favorites were jason and sarah maria, but sadly they couldn’t top the sheer floating power of the corcorans. so congrats to the corcorans and thank you to everyone who voted! i’m hoping to do expanded sneak peeks of everyone who entered so stay tuned! hopefully i can convince these design-inclined homeowners to share even more of their spaces with us.

and a big, special thanks to mark at sparkability for donating the fantastic rocker for our lucky family. thanks, mark!

My favorite is the dog’s expression. I’m not sure he knew what he was getting into when he signed up to be a part of the family, but at least he’s learned to adapt and float like the rest of them!

We are so gald to have won. We picked out the babby blue rocker last night! It will be nice to have something to sit in when we are not levitaing. To answer Shannon, levitating takes extreme focus, determination and hard work (and some help from Criss Angel). Thank you for all your votes. More photos from us in the future for sure!

Shannon, there are many brilliant photographers on Flickr, perhaps they can explain to you how to get this effect. I have seen other, if not more amazing effects and ideas on Flickr. So, check it out and ask one of them, they’ll be more than happy to help you out (they’re so awesome). ;)

I thought this was the best of photo shop and the most pedestrian of interior design. I didn’t expect staged photographic manipulation to be part of the contest, but instead to capture the honest expression of simplicity in design in an individual life…. one evoked through intimate images of individual homes, not staged images of the occupants. Did I miss the post modern part about this being ironic? Oh well, I was bored by the image. Hopefully you will publish the first nay sayer.

there is always one…i think our picture was original, creative and fun for the whole family. it was a great experience for all of us, and we are all going to enjoy the rocker for many years to come. i think it did ‘capture the honest expression of simplicity in desingn in an individual life’ but with a twist. :)

magic,lol. that’s funny, I agree with you tamara…but this is grace’s little blog, she’s not a designer or anything like that, just one who thinks she’s some kind of design expert. Now, waiting for the lemmings to comment.

WOW WOW WOW, OUITSTANDING. VERY IMPRESSED WITH PHOTO. WHAT FUN. ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW. WOW AND WOW. CREATIVE, IMPRESSIVE, FUN, INTERESTING PHOTO. OUTSTANDING THEME. I KNOW THE AMES ROCKER IS RIGHT UP THEIR STYLE ALLEY. CONGRATULATIONS YOU GUYS.
