has anyone got the free canvas photo done yet?

How do you get this canvas? Do you just need to register your camera or what? Does it have to be taken with the Fuji? I have an image that could use a canvas but its shot on Delta 3200!
 
buy the x100, register online, receive coupon in the mail.

does not seem to have to be from x100...how could they tell?

Not even if someone paid me to do it. Seriously. And I make my living being paid to do stuff with my photos. I rarely say no to someone handing me money, but I would here. Canvas printing is done to imitate oil paintings, that's the only reason. Because a lot of photographers are insecure about the status of photography as art, a century after this was finally settled in the eyes of those who matter in the art world. To print your work on canvas dishonors all that photography is by making it a cheap imitation of another form of art done by those without the talent to do that other kind of art; and I CAN paint, so I don't need to imitate painting. I CHOOSE photography because it is best suited to what i have to say to the world.

I don't mean any of what I wrote above as an insult to you, Joe. You probably just think the prints look cool, but what I wrote above is what photos on canvas represent to galleries, art historians, curators, and professional artists.

Meh. I have a number of canvas prints. Love them.

Doesn't suit every kind of photograph. And not much chance of me ever having anything hung in a gallery anyway.

But I certainly haven't received any coupon. Is it restricted to a particular geographical area?

My advice is: Don't discuss, just do it (for free). And put in on your most prominent wall at your home and then, please, post a photograph of that installation for us.
