ABOUT PERSPECTIVE
"What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals."
H. D. Thoreau

ABOUT PERCEPTION
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift."
Albert Einstein

ABOUT VISION
"The world has no edges. Composition and framing is defining edges in the subjects that we see using the camera that we’re using. And it sounds like a really easy thing. But in order to get really good, strong, dynamic images, we do need to be quite mindful of how we compose and how we frame our world."
Dr. Shane Hulbert

    Starting a 52-week photo project

    2014-01-11 /

    During the first days of this year I was reading several interesting articles on photography that made me ponder over my photography aspirations and expectations. Are there any? Am I satisfied with my achievements? Is there anything I should change or do better? Those questions didn’t appear out of the blue. From time to time I heard their whispering and was aware of their existence and I knew they were just waiting for the right moment to speak up.

    The other day I felt strongly like taking pictures but as it was raining all day, I was stuck at home. I decided to find some scenery there to take a picture of and my thoughts fell immediately on a metal doll that has guarded one of my flowers for quite a long time. I am not a fan of these products, I usually find them kitsch, but when I saw the doll, I couldn’t take my eyes of it. Well, sometimes you come around a thing that touches your feelings and you feel sort of allied with it, don’t you? I took several photos, played with the scene, with…
