About me
In early summer 2006, a friend photographer let me shoot with his back-up camera, a Nikon D100, for a serie of outdoor concerts. It was an instant Wow! this is it! How soon can I get my own DLSR!. A few weeks later, it was my own. Since then, it follows me everywhere all the time. I have everything to learn, sure. I shoot for the pleasure of getting back in touch with my creativity.
An avid Flickr-photographer convinced me to try a free account. What a big step! Although I have accumulated several thousands shots on my HD, my shy and withdrawn nature had to be convinced they are worth uploading. Oh well, I try to discipline myself to add a few photos weekly, although I shoot dozens daily.
Why do I now have a Pro account? Because what I found here was an extraordinary positive community of friendly people, either beginners like me, damn good shooters from whom I can learn, or absolute artists that are a source of inspiration, pushing me to go further, to keep learning, and to keep shooting.

Ginette's pictures capture the raw emotion of a moment. Her work is pure, with no post-production enhancements to make a scene more vivid than it is, or needs to be. I love how she documents the "how" behind her photographs, and how a lot of her work connects with those the majority of us ignore. It's great stuff, and I can't wait to see what's next.
Read lessI really like how these shots encourage discovering the humanity of people who we may be fearful of and therefore tempted to ignore.
I "stumbled" upon "byGin"s photos and found myself carefully and deliberately looking and studying every photo she has posted. I got a sense of what I think her heart is in photography.

I "stumbled" upon "byGin"s photos and found myself carefully and deliberately looking and studying every photo she has posted. I got a sense of what I think her heart is in photography. Look at the street scenes and read her notes. She has compassion for people and a desire to document what others may see as mundane. Don't pass up the street artist. Don't miss the simplistic view of "ordinary" scenery around you. However if you do - come and look at byGin's photos. You'll be reminded that we are all together in this world. byGin posesses the journalistic style of photography many of us hope to have. I have found a new mentor! ~John FB Photography
