I recently got to test the new Petval Lens from Lomography. See that cool swirly bokeh-effect? I love it.

I've been repeatedly approached by companies who want to use my photographs "for credit" (a.k.a. without paying me), and I know that they get a lot of amateur photographers who are more than happy to hand out work for free.

Searching for Nicholas from New Zealand!!

A few weeks ago, during my photo shoot with Eyck Zimmer, I snapped this pic of Nicholas from New Zealand, who was busking under the World Clock at Alexanderplatz. I didn't have a chance to get his email address, but he seemed like a real sweetheart and I'd love him to have a photo of himself in action on his big trip. What do you think, guys - six degrees of separation? Can we do this?

His sign says: "Hello! Kia Ora! I am Nicholas from New Zealand and I am playing my way across Europe. Donations are more than welcome. I also give FREE HUGS!"

How can you not love this kid? Let's do it! Please share and help me find him.

Thought for the day: The first step to being a photographer is learning to make "good" pictures. The second step is learning to translate concepts and ideas into images.

Starting tomorrow, I'm off to a tiny village in Italy called Scario. Can't wait to show you all some of the pictures when I get back!
