New best friend

One of my resolutions for the new year is the desire/need to take more photos. Unfortunately, most of the time that I’d wished I could reach for a camera, there wasn’t one about. Mainly, it’s because my trusty Nikon is too big and heavy to lug around on a daily basis.

I was a good girl and didn’t run out to the store and buy a camera on a whim. I spent more than a month on research, filed my taxes early, considered what I could allow myself, and ended up getting the Panasonic Lumix LX3 (in silver). I took it out for a spin today and we’re getting along famously.

Make belief

I’m not going to go gaga over kiddies here. Plenty people think babies and little kids are all sorts of cute and funny. What absolutely tickles my heart about these photos is the delicate way the photographer captured the perfect atmosphere of playing dress-up and make belief. I’m almost 30 years old and I still revel in the moments where a playful outfit, a beautiful house, dust dancing in the sunbeams, can create for me a magic atmosphere that transcends the every day. I guess, I’m a kid at heart.

These two are my favorite, and there are a couple of more here at Kitty Kora’s set on Flickr.
