Alter Ego 2008-03-05 16:15:57 Emigration creates stressful limit-situations when person loses his identification:
work, friends, relatives, property, language, life and career prospects
Can you stand this collapse of identifications?
- Being 47, I must run around in Vienna as homeless dog looking for institutions
who would approve what I am doing.
Feeling lucky to sell photo to newspaper once in season for 30 euros!

Street photography 2008-03-03 17:08:42 Why the bird sings? Maybe because of joy.
Streetphotography
which depicts recognizable faces can survive only on pages of private blogs
Blogs which bring to author nothing except two-three duty comments and tons of spam
To go on like that photographer must be bird
Who sings because of pure joy and does not bother herself
about value and purpose [...]

I dialed many times before something clicked in enigmatic telecom spaces and voice told: “Privet!”
It is always miracle to hear sounds of your own tongue as if after morning cup of Sunday coffee over “der Standard” you make amazing blitz-trip in your past

Grenzlozes Erdbeerefeld 2008-02-27 03:42:33 As I already wrote before its always major part of life negativities unavoidable. Oddly enough all my depressing experiences concentrated in sphere of relations. It is like sado-maso games with your own gastronomic perceptiveness. When being invited to occasional restaurant I am hardly appreciative, though never complain, perceiving product freshness and also hygienic conditions [...]

Vienna, Heldenplatz, 24.02.08, 13.00
As I have no more reliable source of information about Vienna events than FM-4 and Internet sites,
I arrived at place more than two hours earlier equipped with three lenses which I eventually didn’t use
When demo started, it was fun to shoot people together with other 4-5 male photographers
But [...]
Abend 2008-02-23 04:44:39 I become more and more dissatisfied with possibilities Nikon D200 provides fo shooting indoors.
Sometimes I feel completely desperate looking through dark and unclear shots I made in cafe. From one side big professional camera can not suit spy and voyeuristic tendencies I have, from the other side small camera compromises quality especially in poor [...]
No title 2008-02-20 08:59:21 Boy from the right told patronizingly touching my shoulder that
Nikon D200 is somewhat old
It was fun to shoot them
It is always easy to shoot young people
Older persons are often suspicious about something and full of false
apprehensions: “Are you going to sell picture of me?
Are you from newspaper? Are you private detective?”
It is close to impossibility [...]

It was cold windy morning. I made snapshot of this group near Westbahnhof

You love man so much that it hurts and when he betrays you-
you want to die
But time goes on, and soon you can not recollect his name.

What young photographer must know 2008-02-13 10:45:45 Normally people don’t like their own photos even of high quality. Portrait photography is the special art of flattery. Everybody has own vision of himself that can be broken by cruel frankness of digital camera vision. Image we perceive with our eyes is processed by multiple filters of our brain. People don’t like their own [...] Read more:young

Circles 2008-02-07 16:59:10 If life were ever joyful, it would be very hard to become old and die.
We know that everyday and every hour we become a little more dead than before, we do exactly this - we approach slowly but surely our individual border of physical existence and non-existence.
Good news is that there are many things in [...]

Small gallery presented here is only what I managed to process today. Unfortunately could not accomplish all. Perhaps as in every other activity professional future of photographer depends mostly on his industriousness and patience. [...]

My sweet home Steiermark 2008-04-14 09:44:04 I do not know where my motherland is, and to what nationality I belong. When I caught a glimpse of green Steiermark colors at Rathauspaltz of Vienna, where traditional national festivity took place, my heart gave a leap. I had feeling that after long journey I had come back home.
I could again smell aroma of [...]

Ideal lover 2008-04-23 16:12:53 Contemplating over my own intimate relationships and those of others I conclude that ideal lover

You feel hands – wise as your own - caressing [...]
