Dear readers!
I truly appreciate your visits and comments. My deepest gratitude to all of you!
My first post appeared a year ago.
At that time I wrote for the beginners mostly, because I found out that it’s not so easy to find the simple explanation of camera modes or exposure, for example. And I wrote about the tips for the beginners for the same reason.
But I intended to create the site that isn’t always about gear and techniques.
Photography has the power to convey ideas, emotions and feelings just as any other form of self-expression. That’s why I wrote about photographic therapy, inspiration, ethics, feelings and emotions in photography.
Every my article is of course my personal opinion on the matter. Surely I respect other people opinions; that’s why I love the thoughtful comments with readers’ ideas or requests.
Here’s the map of the blog.

“Our personal growth can fuel our photography and our photography can fuel our personal growth.” (Brooks Jensen)
Maybe the best photography is partly technique, partly post processing and partly self-expression. Then to learn about photography we need to learn about all three parts. To improve photography we must improve all three parts.
Many thanks again, my dear readers!
Hope to see you soon!
