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".
