I love photography. For me, it’s like painting, but better. And more accurate. And unlike painting, I can actually participate. I am not a big success or great master by any means. But I enjoy taking pictures. I also enjoy looking at other people work and sometimes sharing it. When I do, this is the category that I use.
I’ve had this idea in my mind for some time now, but I still don’t know how to better to express it. The progress of technology has changed the daily morning routine of people who used to read newspapers with the cup of coffee. Now these people use computers and read emails or news on the Web. They can listen to the music along the way too.

Dogs are not something you see every day in Cyprus. A couple of decades ago, dogs brought some serious desease in Cyprus and many people were sick. Many dogs were killed than and some really strict laws were developed to control the migration (import), vaccination, and dog carantine. As a result, streets are full of cats…
Some people still do prefer dogs. Not all of them know how to properly care for one, but they still take them.
Someone came to my neighboors today and brought a dog. They tied it up in the coridor and left it there for few minutes. It started barking and making all sorts of noise. Olga noticed it first it told me. I came out and saw these beautiful eyes. I mean there were really something! White dog, light blue eyes and black border around the eyes – all made me go “Wow!”.

Today I gave few pictures from my Digital Rebel for printing to the studio. This is the first time I printed pictures from this camera, although I have it for more than a year now. I have to say that I was very impressed by the quality of the images. I expected much less. I ordered about 50 prints in standard size and also got a few enlargements free of charge. Both the standard size and enlargements came out really good.
I was satisfied already. But than I also thought that all the pictures that I gave for printing were postprocessed and compressed for the web and that none of them was ever inteded for printing. Now I am very interested in the enlargements. I wonder how big can I make them without obvious quality loss.
Thankfully, there are a couple of projects coming up where I will be able to check the enlargements’ quality…
