I decided to shift to black and white in order to perhaps change my perspective or exercise my creative brain a bit more.
Two of these photos were taken with the Olympus OM-D and the third with my Apple iPhone 4.
Fast forward for a moment…
Hight water continues flowing over the Cooleemee River Park (The Bullhole) dam four days after heavy rain.
Not a lot of photography, or blog following, happening at the moment. It’s a mental and physical “pause” — and I’m going with the flow and doing more reading. Hence, I pull this image from the archives of last years Italy vacation.
No doubt the urge will return as will the posting — perhaps when this every day rain stops and the sun returns.

Putting together my selection of favorite photos for 2012 set in motion thoughts of where I’ll like my photography take me in 2013 — action and equal reaction.
A piece of advice I’ve heard so often as a key to success is finding a niche and sticking with it until you become “an expert” in it. Yet in photography, in this blog and even in my life I’ve always run counter to that advice. I fear I tend to generalize without reaching great depth in any one area.
Sometimes a plus can also be a minus. Those with full sized hands and previous experience with full sized D-SLR’s, may find when operating the Olympus OM-D it feels a bit small…lacking grip.
Now I’ve used my OM-D extensively and have never dropped it but I’m always aware the “grip” is not as good as with my full size camera. I found a workable solution to this issue in the Olympus HLD-6 Battery Grip.
