A French photographer demonstrates photo techniques Friday at Sony's space at Salon de la Photo, Paris. Among photographers participating at Sony events were Reza, Tom Stoddart, Kevin Abosch, sports photographer Eric Baledent, nature and wildlife photographer Cedric Chassagne and Remi Chapeaublanc.
I heard Kevin Abosch talk about his portrait work. He said he hopes that when people look at his images, they recognise something within themselves...not in a melancholic way, but in our shared sense of fragility.

Just yesterday I was thinking that many photographers were men. My husband considered himself the family photographer until I started taking pictures a few years ago. It was difficult for him to give that image up. This show looks like it would have been a fun one to attend. I would have had camera/lens envy big time. This weekend my half sister gave me her mothers old Brownie. I look forward to playing with it.

Great photos! I see none of the aberrations that reviewers claimed against the Nex. That is really good to see!
