Before i start this post, i just want to say that i’m not being paid to write it.
Yes, i was commissioned to write 2 advertorials for Olympus when they launched the Pen,
and after using it, i fell totally in love with it, but i had to give it back!

At that time, i got wind of another camera brand in the process of possibly endorsing me,
so i thought i’d wait a couple of weeks and see what happens.
Nothing happened, and my friend in the agency advised me to go for whatever else i had in mind.

So i thought, you know what, i REALLY love the Pen,
and even tho they’re not going to pay me to use it,
it’s such a brill camera i’d be very lucky enough to use it for my blog!

When it comes to camera brands, i’m not utterly devoted to any brand in particular.
I have owned (and still own some) Minolta, Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Sony and Casio cameras.
So you can see i’m pretty much a camera slut.

I decided that i’d really like to work with the Olympus Pen for my blog,
cos if i genuinely love love love something,
i have no qualms in promoting it for free.

So i wrote a proposal to Kee Nyap, the Olympus GM,
and he was very accommodating and friendly –
meeting up with me for lunch, discussing other possibilities of working with each other,
and granting me my request to sponsor the Pen.

I was over the moon!
Many people have commented how they want to steal the camera off me after playing around with it,
RowdyRudy was practically hugging it in Gili when he realised he too, could take more-than-decent shots!
It’s so convenient that i don’t have to edit my pictures for my blog (save for resizing).

Here’s my FAVOURITE picture (which i’ve made my current FB profile pic) taken with my Pen.

Taken in Gili, Bali.
Can you see my Circle of Peace i’m holding up at the sun’s centre?

The one below was also taken in Gili,
and i look so good with NO MAKE UP!
Any camera that can make a gal look good without make up is gem, i say!
