575 Fifth Avenue

Today London was rainy and cold, reminding me that Autumn is approaching fast. Soon I’ll be visiting New York: I might pass in front of that building and take my own picture, recapturing the moment in different circumstances. I can’t wait to see how it will look like.

This Is Me, Now

17th November 2008 by Aimee Marie

Hi! My name’s Aimee Marie & I’m a photographer & writer from London, England. I feel privileged to have been invited to guest-blog here at This Is Now & hope to share inspiration, creativity & visual-awakenings from the amazing This Is Now Flickr Pool!

I currently run my own photography & lifestyle blog at aimeemarie.com, but my passion began many moons ago, when I won my first 35mm point & shoot camera in a raffle when I was about 10! I began snapping away at anything & everything & soon moved to digital photography a few years later. I have some photography qualifications, but I wholeheartedly believe that you don’t need a grade on a piece of paper to tell you how good you are, as many people on Flickr have proved!

The photo below is from my Final Major Project at college, where I decided to concentrate on the Seven Deadly Sins– a subject which has been covered many, many times — but this time, with a twist. For me, the desensitization of the Sins is now. Society as a whole has been blinded by the mass-production of items that we covet & instead, we just see all these lovely, colourful things that we own & adore, forgetting that about the greed & gluttonous side of things.

I think it’s also very apt that I’ve heavily photoshopped this image, as we live in a time where perfection is something that many people now have a deep desire for & strive to get through surgery & enhancements.

All that from a bunch of shoes, eh?

Laced up and ready to go

It’s almost the weekend and I’m in the office. But that doesn’t mean I’m down. Looking down at my shoes from time to time, maybe… but not down!

Pink Graffiti

8th November 2008 by Kai Chan Vong

Shades of pink can be stunning in photos. Recently, my company had a pink friday in aid of breast cancer awareness. Talking about the office, ‘This is Now’ shouldn’t just be about what you see on the weekend or after work… Why not share some of those work moments with everyone… sometimes the office and its environment can be quite an awesome capture.
