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.
Photoblogging is yet another way to introduce a lot of data flow to the web. As regular text blogging requires minimum language skills, photoblogging requires a camera and basic photography skills. Talant is nice to have, but way too few people actually do. I don’t think that my photography skills are up to the level to maintain a photo blog, but a text editor I can handle.
Meanwhile, I do enjoy ocassional photoblogs, like this one.

There are some really amazing photographs by Graham Jeffery at SensitiveLight.com. Apart from usual stuff as nature, animals and landscape, there are some interesting categories of people photography, such as “People on the mobile”. Great work.
Anyone, who went through my photo albums or read this blog for some time, knows that I am an often visitor at Lara Bay beach. Today, I didn’t want to go to the beach, though because I had enough of it. We’ve been on the beach every day since my vacations started. Somehow Olga and Hazard convinced me to go…
…and I am glad they did. We’ve witnessed something you don’t get to see so often. Few turtle kids got out of their eggs and went for to the see. Usually, they do it in the middle of the night and noone sees them. But today three of them decided that sunset is good enough time for them to run for life.
Suddenly there were plenty of people with photo- and video-cameras recording the event for the annals of history. I was among them, of course. The results are here.
James Nachtwey‘s website has a lot of excellent photographs, mostly dedicated to the terrible things witnessed by the photographer – war, crime, hunger, AIDS, etc.
I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should never be forgotten and must not be repeated.
I hope those stinky politicians are browsing through sites like this once in a while…

There are some excellent photographs of ice at this website. Some great macro shots! It also seems that ice pieces are as different as snow flakes, which to I linked before. Fascinating!
