Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, dear Photoliciouxes!

I’m very grateful for the beautiful, first year, that we have spent together!

It all started as a bet to dedicate myself to a daily project. It became much more than that, a way to express my passion for photography, a chance to make friends and to discover more beautiful minds and eyes out there, and, eventually, it became a part of me.

To many, happy years of Photolicioux!

Some truly amazing, and very original, photos of Sydney New Year’s fireworks by Edwina Pickles:

Photography, cameras and photographers

“Photography is not about cameras, gadgets and gismos. Photography is about photographers. A camera didn’t make a great picture any more than a typewriter wrote a great novel.”

Peter Adams, Sydney, 1978
