Talking about Photography is more difficult than preparing for, taking photographs and enhancing them. Sometimes it's hard to find the right words to explain why you get up early in the morning, why do you stand for hours at a specific place, why you wander for couple of hours through the region and constantly seeking the "Decisive Moment" (Phrase by Henri Cartier Bresson).

Photography is an Art, a way of living, a state of mind ... It can be sometimes hard and demanding, but if at least one picture stands the test of personal or other critics, then it is worth for. Pictures can tell stories or just capture a moment in time.

Pictures can amaze and put smiles on somebody's face. Pictures can on the other hand tell cruel and tragic stories, which remind us, that the greatest enemy of Mankind is Man himself. Despite that, we live in a wonderful world, surrounded by so much natural beauty and hidden secrets, which wait for the coragous photographer to unveil.

Man has pushed the limits of technological progress but on the other hand has less more time to spend in contact with nature. So we should take as much time as possible to return to Mother Nature and practice "Drawing with Light".
