How Modern Technology is Making Watercolors More Accessible than Ever Before
There’s not much more in this world that can make us feel more emotion than a high-quality piece of art. It has the ability to reflect on our lives and nature, inspire us, and even bring us to tears.

I recall walking extremely slowly in the Bois de Boulogne in the 16th arrondissement…

Mobile Photography & Art Instagram Showcase – 26 July 2020
When we push ourselves, really push ourselves, when we dare to do something we wouldn’t ordinarily do, when we take risks, measured risks but risks nonetheless, it is then that we feel an overarching sense of accomplishment. Savouring each day as our last, that’s when we feel most alive. I walked under a tree yesterday and I heard a little voice call from above, ‘hello‘, I looked up, there was a tiny girl, high above me in the tree, her face so full of glee, so proud to have reached its heights. Her natural shyness had all but disappeared, she wanted me to know what she had accomplished. The summer…

There is and there always has been a vast difference between a photographer and someone who is interested in photography. David Hurn (Hurn, D and Jay, B. On Being a Photographer. (3rd ed.) 1997. Pp.43-44) explains that the person who becomes a photographer in not interested in photography as an end result but uses photography to pursue an intense interest in something else.
