a splash of french vermillion…

A splash of red for this second day of March… No rhyme nor reason… just a glorious blast of vermillion. 
I take photographs for many reasons… primarily to record events but often just for fun… like Le Voleur… This book was in the window of a second hand store in Paris… the colour and the black and white illustration caught my attention… and the title, The Thief… 
I’m a point and click kind of snapper and often forget the technical in my excitement… I am getting better at remembering the how’s and the why’s of a good shot but the beauty of photography is that any one can play and learn as they go… especially with the digital cameras available now. I am extra fortunate because I have worked with  photographer Carla Coulson and she has given me the courage to experiment and say goodbye to the auto setting… Not always though… sometimes a candid shot calls for super speedy fingers and fast manipulation if you want to catch that elusive shot… 
Last birthday I was given the Olympus EP2 and a super zoom lens… I love it! It is easy to use and reasonably light.. Like all new gear, there is a learning curve… but it has been worth it and now I don’t go anywhere without it… 
Be inspired by these fabulous photographers and bloggers…
If you are looking to invest in a new camera… try the Olympus EP2… for me, it’s perfect…
and if you love colour… you must read this… xv
