Category: Photography

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.

Family photo session

Thinking Maxik

Today I did yet another photo session with my family (Maxim, Olga, and my mother). I noticed that facial expressions of a infant do change extremely often. Actually, I had to switch my camera on to a continuos shoot mode to get few of the captures. What is even more interesting is that facial expressions of adults who play with an infant change at approximately the same rate. During 15 minutes I have made more than 60 images. Out of all these I have selected and postprocessed about 20.

New York Public Library Digital Gallery

New York Public Library has published a Digital Library – a collection of almost 300,000 images. Images are conveniently organized into collections, which are both browsable and searchable. As an example of stuff that you can find there, check this collection of Soviet posters from years 1918-1922.

Motherhood

Motherhood

Today’s submission to ‘Picture of the day’ is a family photosession. Maxim is still my primary subject for photography practicing, but I try not to concentrate on him too much. Also, Olga feels good enough to make a few shots of father and son (me and Maxim). I’ve played with the pictures in Gimp a bit, just to keep up my skills. Nothing fancy though…

Picture of the day

What are YOU looking at?

I am a bit under time pressure these days, but I think you’ll forgive me if I will put a bunch of pictures from the recent days into a single submission for the ‘Picture of the day’ project. As you might have guessed, most of these pictures have to deal with Olga and Maxim. Some of these were taken few days ago in the clinic. Others – were taken today in my home. Enjoy!

Mother and son

Mother and son

My next few ‘Picture of the day’ will probably be very boring. Children in general, and my son Maxim in particular are new subjects for me and I don’t yet know how to handle them. Practice is the best medicine for all photography problems as far as I am concerned, so I will be photographing a lot of kids. Training the photo eye, ai!
