Team up ... a new challenge ... fresh

My new challenge is fun! But like all things I have to explain the history to understand how we got to do it. My team up partner and I have been friends for some time now. He is like a Graphic Design Guru!!! to me anyway. He lost everything a couple of years back in a fire that burnt down his house ... and at the time he was extending his talents to photography. Of course he lost his camera in the fire too .... so when I asked why he wasn't continuing with developing his new found passion he used this as his excuse. 

Any photographer can tell you a fancy camera doesn't make you any more a photographer than owning a stethoscope makes you a doctor ... is that a real saying? If it isn't than it should be :-) Anyway my point is whether you are driven by talent or passion or whatever you still learn and develop and that only comes through practice.

So with the absence of a camera I proposed we do the team up challenge, same as I did before with my sis, only this time we were only allowed to use our mobile phones ... me my humble little Vodafone 856, and him his BB.

It is a challenge alright for us both, for me switching from doing my usual photo's with my Canon to then trying to get my winning shot with my cell phone, but it is great for developing and eye for a picture and learning what will work. And it is proof you don't need the latest and greatest to be the best.

So with that in mind here is this weeks pictures for our first topic "FRESH"

Mine ... it is my little bit of sanity in a cup (my other little bit of sanity comes in a bottle ... LoL) ... our local coffee van that frequents my work every day to brew me up a FRESH mocha



And Superhero's pic is very indicative of where he is in his life ... the pic is a FRESH new beginning ...



So that is the first mobile pics for the new challenge ... hope you enjoy watching us grow and develop our mobile photographic skills. Next time I am going to share something really intimate with you ... stay tuned!
