Last December in Bologna, a decision was made to make a trip someplace nice. Thanks to unbelievable concentration of beauty in that region, there was a bunch of possibilities to consider. And Florence won. :-) Flooding this place with Italy is no coincidence, recently I’ve fallen in love with the country and visited it three times over three months. And maybe, there’s more to come…

For a long time I wanted to visit this city, and yet every time an opportunity presented itself, I had to refuse. It just so happened that when the question of where to go for the next trip was risen, the answer was an unequivocal “Let’s go see Rome.”

Music can look good too, you know? :-) So this is my band of friends performing for us on one fine Christmas concert. Enjoy!

Or how we went to wander around Emilia-Romagna. :-)
Saying that Bologna is an enchanting place would be a major understatement, but I feel it needs to be done anyway – because no photo I could take would really do justice to the relaxed and positive armosphere of this southern academic city. And this is coming from someone who hates Italian seaside tourist settlements with passion. Many thanks belong to Natálka for letting us stay in her apartment, and thumbs up to Ryanair for affordable flights directly from Bratislava. This also allowed us to spend most of the budget on luxuries. :-)

Some people spend their weekends carousing, others like to go fishing, and yet others may just lie around dormant and let the time pass. Some people tend to spend long hours sorting out and post-processing photographs, and finally, some people like to make games. Months upon months of preparation, and an amazing weekend full of interactive drama experience had finally arrived.

With only a few millimeters thick depth of focus, constant movement in the environment, heavy equipment and lack of dedicated macro lens, close-up photography is quite probably the most difficult kind I’ve ever tried. Still, although there are incredible things to explore down there, the biggest challenge of this shoot was simple – rather than technical issues, it was my own ignorance of tiny things. Every photographer has an inner eye that helps him or her choose the scene and compose properly, a sort of sixth sense that tells them what is worthy of being photographed, how to do it and what to expect. Well… with macro, I felt mine simply didn’t work as I’m used to. This post is dedicated to my mom, a very passionate gardener. :-)

It is well known that photographer’s best friend is the [Delete] key. Unless they have a Mac, that is, in which case they are screwed. ;-) But if you can’t force yourself to delete enough of them, that’s when you have to resort to writing multiple posts from a single shoot… still, it’s very true that most of my pictures suck, as do everyone else’s, so let’s hope I didn’t overdo it. :-)

When the Rock’n'Roll train arrived at Gare de l’Est Friday around noon, we only had two and a half days to get back home. Even though, fortunately, I’ve been to Paris before, it was so little it was intimidating. To make things even worse, we lost all of Friday to organisational issues, due to problems with the tickets and difficulties with accommodation, and as we wanted to spend most of Sunday in Strasbourg, all we had left was not much ‒ a single day.
This is a pretty rare photo… those of you familiar with traffic around the Arc surely know why. :-)» » Read more of “A day on Île-de-France” inside » »
“The tickets to the show sold out in 11 minutes,” ZZ told me sadly on the phone. “If we really want to see them, we need to travel somewhere else…”
And so the idea was born. When a legend such as AC/DC go on a tour, there’s a good chance that it’s their last one – and one you really don’t want to miss. So the decision was made – it doesn’t matter where in Europe we get the tickets, we go there…

Municipality police of Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories, Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, has come forth with yet another breathtaking initiative to keep us all safe and free from the evil oppression.
This time, it’s a campaign educating the public on how to spot a terrorist, urging them to report people who would seek to destroy our liberties.
