Photography

These are some pictures I take. I’m not a professional, neither I have a super-camera (I have a couple of point and shot and my phone), but sometimes I decide to try things out with my little cameras and my (itsy bitsy tinny) little photography knowledge.

    But tomorrow, dawn will come the way I picture her, barefoot and disheveled, standing outside my window in one of the fragile cotton dresses of the poor. She will look in at me with her thin arms extended, offering a handful of birdsong and a small cup of light. William Collins quotes   written in… Read more

  • Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Walk 100 Steps or less and take new photos

    I’ve been trying to take this picture for this challenge for a couple of days now, but I always had only my phone, which is not good at all for macro pictures. Then today, in spite of the not-so-great weather, I took my Canon and went for the tiny walk that leads me to those… Read more

  • Ese’ s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Buzz

    Now I think that going to the gym is the best drug. I go four times a week and it gives me the buzz I need. Amy Whitehouse Although for me is actually only 2 times a week. On the other days I go for walks, not the gym…   Written in response to Ese’… Read more

  • Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Touch

  • Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Silence

    See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence…we need silence to be able to touch souls. Mother Teresa of Calcutta This post was written in response to Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Silence Read more

  • Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Intangible

    Our technologized society is becoming opaque. As technology becomes more ubiquitous and our relationship with digital devices ever more seamless, our technical infrastructure seems to be increasingly intangible.

  • Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Intricate

    I admit being guilty… The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life.

    Today things were very easy at work. Very! So I decided to go for a walk and bring a camera with me. My initial plan was to take pictures o fall colors, but the weather wasn’t really cooperating and the light was not too good for nice colorful pictures. So instead, I decided to look… Read more
