I do love it when people give me things. I do love it when someone says “pop over to our shop and collect an Olympus Camera….”
Xmas she comes a bit early this year.
I get to be one of the six bloggers chosen for the #mycamerablogger competition.
In short I popped along to mycamera at Shop 14, Roeland Square, Corner Roeland and Drury Street, Gardens – and they hand me an Olympus Camera, granted with a thick contract which included sacrificing my first-born on a mountain with a goat or something. Something.
They made it VERY CLEAR — abundantly clear — that it was only a loan. And that I had to bring it back.
The camera is funky white Olympus and I am so siked to (1) Figure out how it works (2) Start taking cool snaps of everything!
This weekend, is a big mate-get-together-weekend for us.
We have a wedding of two dear friends, a baby shower, and basically a divine weekend of relaxing with mates in Stanford, just past Hermanus.
I collected the {loan} Olympus camera I get ten working days (and the weekend) to take my pictures.
The brief is to encapsulate the words “Joy” “Curiosity” and “Alone” – we submit one, unedited image for each word … and then we take back our very pretty Olympus camera back to the lads (and ladies) at mycamera.
Then some judges get together and pick a winner, and a second princess.
At the end of this, one of us gets to walk away with the Olympus camera – coolio. For keeps! {the remainder of us, give ours back and wonder how it all went so wrong}
How cool is that? Yep, pretty cool pants. I really need to get my creative cap on, and try to at least keep up with the other cool kids on the block.
