A Weekend of Magic

Posted on January 6, 2010 by frogman

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.  :-)

Projekt | Σ | Systém

Posted on November 1, 2009 by frogman

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.

Meet Projekt Systém.

A Peek Into the Tiny World

Posted on September 1, 2009 by frogman

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.  :-)

Paris Deserves Another Post

Posted on June 28, 2009 by frogman

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. :-)

A day on Île-de-France

Posted on June 27, 2009 by frogman

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. :-)
