train song was ringing in my head...


I still feel sad, though everything is ok. I suppose I am just learning....

a bar


I miss all the bars with the distinct atmosphere. You know, the kind that make you wanna stay a bit longer and engage in conversation.

Tina, Alice in Wonderland...

My dreams roam still......

the neighbours' cat


Doglike creature - in the sense that it seems to enjoy life to the fullest. Or just another projection?

a case of puffy


Puffy, puffy, so puffy that they look like candy. A nice shot, I think....

Clint


My pet spider, always guarding from the outside, and using the ends of warmth, coming from the vent.
Kinda cute!

those lost mornings


At a very early age I really did enjoy getting up early. But then I lost the passion for it. Just didn't believe that the morning hours can give something good and besides - it's not the Hour for philosphy....
This is a picture I took the other day, round 6.30 in the morning. Luckily, I found another small joy in Holland.

simple choices


Most time in life I feel like the answer has always been there, one just has to reach out. A very weak point of our lives - we hardly reach out anymore.

portrait of Anton


When I took this picture, the latest Prodigy song was all in my head. So yes, maybe in a way this is an omen - saying inner peace is hard to achieve but it's worth it.
And I am just realizing that it may take a trip to Sweden and Norway so that some parts of me can be found....

New people, new place...


Welcome to Tilburg, part 1.

saturday night live


Funny how strangers can clear things up for you. let's get the fire back in!

26 September 2009

Sorry guys, my laptop crashed and eventually I lost some good photos which I intended to blog.

Anyway, I feel a certain urge to make some photos these days so it shouldn't take long!

night sky


Shot near the south beach of Varna, this is how my hometown works - even at night some things are brightly lit and making you think sleep is for the weak.....

DJ at work :)




some more faces.... :)

Portraits of Ivan





Ivan


My favorite guitar player. Been together through so much. Following is a set of portraits.

something fragile

Dulsi

Charlie


Attention-lover, always a flaw in my opinion. There is something cute, however about this snap.

another friendly being at Pompei

remark


Most times I forget that social contacts are important, if not yet vital. Just sitting at those stairs brought me back a great deal. the shot isn't perfect but I left it like that on purpose - people are not perfect but still necessary.... hard to deny this simple truth.

recharged, at least for a little while....

direction


What do you do when you see the goal, the destination -at least the current one? How do you manage to sit tight and wait, maintain the right disposition - I'm trying but I can tell you it's damn hard...

24th May in Varna







point :)

Nightflowers,...


...they blossom late but their colors are just wonderful and touching.

Varna....







light dark

... or at the breaking of a new day, whatever it may bring... Just like a Incubus song...

dark light


I like the sea in the early spring. And at night, just when this photo was taken, light has a whole another dimension.....

Art is alive


a Sunday at the Vatican


This was a whole different experience for me. Not in the least religious, I was pleasantly surprised to see that most of the people had come to enjoy a nice and quiet gathering of people. No rush, no quarrels - despite the metal detectors at the square.
The whole kind of shows me what the immense difference between Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox is - the latter seems to have stopped developing ages ago. Don't get me wrong - I do NOT support this form of religion. I just admire all the ways you can use a fictional belief system such as Christianity.

P.S. All the art collections there are a sufficient reason to let this whole parade continue.... just my opinion.

point of view


Every man gets to choose what makes sense to him. Just use this freedom, as Boryana said on a different topic. (the perfect example how to apply changes to sense :)

to fly....

do you see the flames?


what would have happened if I was standing there when it all fell?

burning down the bridges


How many social contacts can you maintain at a certain time?

Some bridges burn down ...

23 March 2009

waiting for that thing to happen....


Sometimes I feel just like those birds - anticipating a change. Waiting and just observing....

The Emperor

Yancho 2.0



Yancho. A daring series of portraits.


I really like how these separate frames turned out. Good work, Yancho!



22 March 2009

pearly water

and another version of the same frame


This is the same as the previous frame, just with a longer exposition time. The effect is instant and goes for just what I wanted - a more calm and chilled out atmosphere to the frame.

peace of mind. next level


Next level as I see it is moving to live somewhere outside a city, so that one can enjoy the quiet moments instead of spending them in a traffic jam. But I see the tendency to change these levels according to my current mood....

solitude?

next set of portraits



one second

personal


Lots of things have happened to me lately and I feel changed in a strange and very subtle way.

Swans are said to be beautiful. But what most people see in this shot is an great overexposed area around the swan which makes the picture useless. Truth is not a single man or a woman should care about how other people see beauty or the lack of the quality in consideration. Occasionally the taste of two or more people cross to a certain degree, and we call that similar taste. But don't be bothered by the common deception that beauty is absolute.

Please, don't.

commercial


It is yet to be seen if all the propaganda and arranged provocations are worth something. However, maybe in every commercial outburst during the crisis nobody believes, there is something more. A crisis, not so financial than spiritual. Because.... even atheists have morals, and when they feel there is nothing more, that is sad. Sad for believers and non-believers alike.

Protest




everybody needs freedom, no matter if it's just one man or a whole society!

Communists screwed uo time and again, and it remains a mystery why so many people would still vote for them! Blind hope is not an option. Action against policemen and government along with the false opposition. Things must change...

another portrait



empty space


You always wish for company. Some people are desperate, others - not. This is just a personal characteristic, I believe, but we all try to accomplish something. To build up, to form, to celebrate the fact that we are humans.


It's not always easy, but one thing life has taught me is, there is always hope for that. So please, keep trying!

bursting


Water is energy in a special way, don't you think?

no words needed


I love this caption. Probably because I know where I made it and why.

I get attached which gets me in trouble sometimes, because Letting Go is a life's lesson and we all struggle through that one....

peace of mind pt. 3


I feel I'm getting closer to this chimera! :)

joy


Simple as that, you've got to laugh sometimes!

the day


A few days back my dog died. I've been around him for nearly 19 years and yes, I say I had been around him, because there were so many things I learned on the way.
Dogs, for example, show the endless love most people only talk about. They don't dream about it, because that is too brave; they only talk.
They are calm, and only bark when they feel that their entity is at risk. Not property, not pride, Entity.

How many of us feel like an entity, even with all the struggle within ourselves. Dogs struggle too, if you don't believe me then just look into their eyes.

Even though I have tears in my eyes, I dare to look up because it's a dog's life, and we all learn. Slowly.....

CheerZ to my lad!

lazy cat


Great mood to be in.... wish there were more days like that for me.

Today (Siamese Dream)


Just like this beer.

empty space photography


I had a conversation on this particular place, and to me it seemed like every grain of sand had something to say.

It's a pity we don't look around that much these days. Even the surrounding has something to say but we`re lost in our own thoughts and we feel comfortable that way. The result is scary.... for me.

fishing for what?


Hobby became religion.
