I've been posting a lot of pictures over the past few months. I've been inspired by views and images, both grand and simple, and thanks to my new Olympus PEN E-PL3 camera, I've been able to capture these moments with beauty and ease.

visions of NYC thru the eye of my Olympus PEN E-PL3 cameraI'm the annoying photographer that keeps stopping you on the street to take pictures of the minutia of life. FDNY shield on the street, an old lock set on a brightly colored door, or one of the many fabulous window displays lining 5th Ave. But to me, those are the moments of a trip. The sights that are burned into your brain. The images that make up your experiences.

I like taking pictures of the changing city. Clothing styles and weather changes all over the place. It's quite fascinating.

Despite the fact that I'm Asian- I LOOOVE taking pictures! My friends love me because I basically document our lives through photos. In the last couple of years, however, I've gone through 4 different digital cameras! I swear I'm nice to my cameras, but they just can't keep up with me and I swear this Olympus one will not fail me! I'd love to show it some love!

I'd love this -- I need something to jump-start my photography again! I got weary of dragging around the "big" camera all the time so this would be perfect.
