The PEN Ready Project from Olympus

This post is sponsored by Olympus.
Photography: n.  the art or process of recording images permanently and visibly by the chemical action of light on sensitive material, producing prints, slides or film.

That was the how photography was defined in 1993.
Today's definition reads:
: the art or process of producing images by the action of radiant energy and especially light on a sensitive surface (as film or a CCD chip) 

Although the definition of photography may change over the years, the romance of photography does not. Whether it be a memory we want to capture, a loved one's smile, or the simple beauty found in nature, there is something so satisfying about recording the moments of our lives.
It's amazing how easy it is to capture these images today. Anyone can be a photographer when given the right camera.

The folks at Olympus surprised over 1,000 people with a new Olympus PEN® E-PM1 to show how easy it is for anyone to take amazing pictures, . It's  part of The PEN Ready Project—more than 1,000 cameras, over 1,000 people, 6 cities.  To see what they shot, go to http://penready.com.
  Take a look at this fun video to see how shocked the people were to receive a free camera and to see some of the shots they took...
I for one am inspired!
