Dark side of God / The lights of Heaven
I was debating between the two captions for this picture. I think the skeptics would go with the first one and the believers with the second (although in the context of the picture, it still shows the former! )
Swiss smoke
Usually, I don’t miss my trains because of a small photo op, but this happened in Geneva railway station when I spotted this guy 3 platforms away and my train was due in a minute. I thought it was worth it to go across 2 platforms with all the luggage to get a this shot. Luckily he was still there when I got there and the next train to my destination was coming in that platform. Not sure if it was worth all the hassle!
Hey, I really like your photography. You have a great sense of atmosphere, light and meaning of a photos, also I like the versatility of your shots. I've created my blog not long ago and I'm in search of opinions. It would mean a lot if you have a quick look at my photos. Thanks in advance! - Elizabeth
Hey Liza, Thanks for your kind words. You have a good eye for patterns and portraits. Keep shooting! :) Manu
photographing homeless people. This has been reiterated umpteen times, yet some people do manage to do the same mistake again. A photograph of a homeless person sleeping on the pavement is not street photography, it’s just you being an asshole having fun at somebody’s misfortune, it’s just Schadenfreude.
A long and sad goodbye
I’d been on vacation and I was somehow thinking about the stuff that I have accumulated over years. My cameras were on top of the list. I like collecting cameras (and shooting them too), but, would I use them again once I’ve tried them?, definitely not all, so How many do I need?
We all tend to cling on to “our stuff” thinking that we would miss it if we lose it. Most of the times, this is a folly.
I might miss my rangefinders sometimes, but I guess I’d be more happy to know that someone is using and experiencing these beauties than just lying around eating dust in my “Collection”.
