Yellow | This is Now

let the old times roll…

12th January 2009 by Kai Chan Vong

Old cameras are quite something… I’ll never forget when I tried out a friend’s manual camera for the first time. The recoil was an amazing feeling as I pressed the shutter down to capture that moment. It’s such a shame how much it costs overall and time it takes. That is unless you have a negative scanner. Which some people have managed to make themselves!

Eggs

This is creative but turns into something emotionally and curiously painful. So… scrambled or poached?

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?

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.

A lone child pushes this kite into the an blood red to orange sky with great enthusiasm. Hoping for it to stay in flight whilst on lookers in the background watch with great interest.

I recently had a bit of a graphic card fail on my Mac. This reminded me so much of that situation, with stunning and vibrant colours.

A self portrait taken by one of the best contributors to the This is Now pool, KreativeKell. Stripes and patterns are something I love for design. Add in the female form, and you’ve got one stunning image. It’s no wonder this reached #1 on Flickr’s explore a month ago!
