Vision

Blog

I think we’ve been so successfully seduced by the technology and technique – the HOW – that we’ve forgotten our vision or intent – the WHY. We didn’t mean to, of course we didn’t. But if the art of photography lies where craft and vision converge, then it’s probably because we’ve all been so caught up in the maddening learning curve of the craft that we’ve neglected the vision.

Oh my goodness this is me, technology and a head full of ‘stuff’. Bits from classes, a bit here a bit there. I’m going back to basics a sort of  downsize. I have my wonderful new camera. all the hardware and software I could possibly need. So back to basics using IG, my blog and of course Facebook. Lets see how I do.

I’ve been missing in action on my blog for many weeks. I don’t feel very inclined at the moment to blog. I’m not sure why, but Barb has a link up on her blog called Sunday Sundries and I heard her call, ‘start blogging again Viv ‘….

I have been concentrating on my iPhone photography recently so I thought I would post a few of my favourite shots. I mainly use Hipstamatic or the iPhone camera to get the ‘instant’ look I am in love with at the moment. Also Instagram now gives you so much more control than it used to so loads more fun there as well.
