No photos, no fun

I hesitated a lot before writing again in this blog. During the past few weeks I've been looking for a way to ad photos to it - an aspect that, I think, would very much improve its power of expression.

I tried hello from picassa (that seems to be the recommended way to go here) and I failed miserably. I don't know what goes wrong. The photos I'm trying to submit might be too big or I just don't know how to use the application.

However, back to the first black and white series. I'm the one to admit that I have a lot to learn about photography. I've also got a long way to go before taming this old camera of mine - I can't say I know 10% of its potential yet. But overall I am pleased, because at least one picture came out interesting.

I want to say more about this one. I decided to call it Gulliver, because it frames Nicole's profile looking down on her Kinder surprise toys collection. By the way, I showed the whole series to brother (If I never mentioned before, his name is George) - and he considered Gulliver the best.

And just because I had some spare time, I took it to chat a bit with George, now it seems he wants a blog ;)

I explained to him how to use Blogger; like it was hard to explain... He got stucked at Step number 2 - Name your blog. I suggested "Teaching Photography to my Stupid Sister", but he decided to go for the romanian version.
