With the support of Sony we’ll all keep enjoying our mutual company for another year of daily shots, this time with the new top professional compact system, the RX1. I sincerely find it great that such a major company would help a blogger to share his work and passion. In this blog I want to focus on the artistic/technical aspects of photography, and I will do it by exploring twelve themes/subjects, one for each month. Thirty days to produce thirty images on a subject, twelve months to explore twelve subjects, all with the same camera and the same lens: 365 Days of RX1 – one camera, one lens, 12 projects.
So long, fellas, let’s start doing photography.
