31/365 - Don't lose your head

This is the end of the first month and for me an important step to the next milestone! Having a look back and making a short summary of the last 31 days – it has been a great period for my imagination and my photographic view. I was forced to think outside the box as I have done many of the daily photos indoors and without a flash.
What next? Well I will try to do more outdoors photography and also portraits!
See you tomorrow!

30/365 - Focus on what's important


I wanted to give you a short update on Evernote as I am using it daily now. To be honest - is the best app for keeping ideas that you run into on the internet, in the street or in magazines. I use it on my iphone, ipad and my windows laptop with the firefox plugin so I have easy access to save anything from anywhere. If you haven’t used their services until now I strongly recommend to give it a try. Oh, and it’s free too :)
See you tomorrow!

29/365 - Shades of grey

It is funny how our mind thinks and how simple it reacts to anything – it approves or disapproves in a few seconds. And I am talking about anything here from a person to a gadget to an idea.
We are living in a world where most people complain about everything - their jobs, taxes, weather, traffic, family etc…
Today I read an article that was referring to stupid vs intelligent people (schooled people). At the first glance it was funny how the writer was pointing out the fact that the worlds work on actions not on analyzing and that stupid people most of the time act while intelligent people usually make plans over plans and they give up therefore stupid people most of the time “win”. After reading the whole thing, while it had some humor and some truth in it, I could not agree with the idea. Why? Well he was stating that schooled people always have a problem with the system and treated this as defect – saying that instead of trying to change it you should ride the wave - while I don’t agree with this : all great things were made by people that were out of the systems of their times from great books to electricity, to cars, to internet, facebook & iphone .
Combining my view with his view I have ended up with the following ideas:
Action and reaction – how the world works – DO IT NOW
Sticking behind an idea – usually we are getting bored easily and we go on to the next idea – LET THE IDEA GROW (and improve it through experience)
System / Matrix / However you want to put it – with or against it – well ….it depends on you – you could be against it but use it to get to your goal by leveraging your talents/ or you could be with it and be happy like this
From my perspective the conclusion is simple – do whatever makes you happy but do something besides complaining :)
I would like to know what do you think about the “mass complaining”?

28/365 - It's a bird, it's a plane...

So today we went deep into composition in photography school and as always when you start to learn about something you realize how little you really know. I need to read more but most important to practice more – and here enters this project!
See you tomorrow!

26/365 - Good time to...

It’s raining....The weather is changing from sunny to rain in a matter of minutes lately and we are not used to this… I do find rainy days nice because usually you do what you wanted to do for some time but you always postponed because you could not waste such a beautiful day in house. I am talking about activities like reading a book, watching a movie, do some cleaning, making a baby the usual stuff…
I am working on my movie list – if you have some favorites please leave a comment as I am opened to suggestions from any genre but I do prefer movies in English or Romanian .
See you tomorrow!

25/365 - Ice coffe & Fuji

   I am struggling with an old laptop and I was searching for a new pc for a while – to be honest I had the money but I bought the fuji :). And I am glad that I didn’t bought the pc because I would have postponed the fuji for a good period of time and this project would have been only a dream!
   Like many photographers I am stuck between Imac and a custom pc. The apple products are expensive BUT they usually deliver. The build quality and the system that links all their products it’s just great! I am now dreaming at the new 27 inch Imac. I will buy it … I just don’t know when :)
See you tomorrow!
