Kathy Panton is an amazing artist. The first thing that caught my eye was her use of bright, bold colors. Hot pink, orange, lime green. Love it! She also creates beautiful shapes and movement in her work. Be sure to check out her Etsy shop.

Wearing the Camera

I love everything about photography. I collect cameras, take A LOT of photographs and when I’m not taking photographs, I’m thinking of new subject matter to photograph. I like to travel places just to take pictures. I sometimes forget to enjoy myself, because I’m so caught up in ‘getting the shot’. You could call photography my obsession. Just ask my husband, he’ll tell you.

So when I found these great camera necklaces on Etsy, I knew I had to have one or maybe two.

Fingerless Gloves

When I take pictures I like to have control over everything. I use my camera manually, meaning I focus the camera myself and I choose what F-Stop and shutter speed to use to get my desired effect. This can be hard to do when you’re outside and its 30 degrees. Gloves aren’t really an option when I’m trying to push buttons, it just doesn’t work. I was out taking pictures one cold morning and my hands were getting so numb I had a hard time pushing the buttons to change the settings on my camera.

That’s when I discovered fingerless gloves. Now I’ve seen them before, but I always wondered why anyone would want fingerless gloves. Then I had my A-ha moment. Fingerless gloves would be great for taking pictures on cold days. I did some searching on Etsy and found some great options. These are perfect for photos on a cold day.
