Vizi: Hi … Congratulations! You are the Grand Winner of the ViziSparkle “Blue” contest and you have won a $365 prize! Your winning photo is of “ So Blue at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial” Click here to see photo
Vizi: Tell us about your introduction to photography. What drew you into this world?
Jo: I had not been taking that many pictures. I used to take pictures with a Canon, and then when the iPhone came out, I started using it. I do love to experiment. I like looking around and figuring out how I can make pictures unique. For instance, I once used a leaf by poking a hole in it and using it as a frame in my photo. Now, I really enjoy photography as a hobby.
Vizi: Where and when did you take that winning photo? Is there a story behind the picture?
Jo: Katie and I went on a very spontaneous date. It was hot that day and we were heading home when I saw the little paddle boats in the water at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. I made a sharp right and told Katie, “Come on, let’s go”. We went paddle boating and that’s how the picture was taken.
Vizi: What equipment did you use for that shoot?
Jo: iPhone 12
Vizi: What advice would you give someone who would like to become a photographer or a Vizi Affiliate?
Jo: Just do it. Photography is an art. There are no strict rules. Just do whatever you want to make art!
Congratulations to Jo Carreto-Millios! Good luck with your future photo entries!
