Article in ZOOM magazine
[posted at 07:21 GMT]    

Few weeks ago I was asked to write feedback for three images in Benelux photo magazine ZOOM, together with some tips. Images and tips where focus on street photography. It was nice as I like to do this quite regularly for other people. In last few days magazine is in newsstands and I have received my copy as well. Here is a crop from first two pages.

New photo: On The Swing
[posted at 09:16 GMT]    

Down the head on the swing, in full speed. Not sure anymore if it is such big fun as at the start. But it doesn't matter, all will be fine once she is back on ground. In next second she will try another crazy thing.

100 Comments
[posted at 06:59 GMT]    

Today I have received comment number hundred in this month. It is incredible how much comment activity happened this month. Look at the graph it looks like something must happen on internet that my site becomes certainly more visible, or is it that you people just decided to show your opinion.
Also little game called voting seems to be taking from the ground. There is minimum six rating needed before the link is showing in this top table overview. I am using this JS-Kit. Problem is that as far as I know I can not access raw data in XML or other format. I need to use their javascript to display this and it doesn't really look as I would like it to look. In any case here is up to now table with top rated images:

Street Photography
[posted at 06:36 GMT]    

In a last few days I was busy among of other thing also with looking at internet pages of photographers. I must say mostly photographers. There are few good but most is just daily snapshots. I guess it is ok, that is what actually photo blogging means. A lot of times it was that few images where very good and than most not and also there where not continuation in theme style in nothing actually.
I wrote about that earlier and was pointing that I have the same problem and that is why I create my portfolio page. And I think I will go further and will do the very similar thing for this page as well, but I will keep it more on level of photo blogging.

Today I received message from German street photography collective with request to place their link on my pages. Normally I do not do that, usually I place links only to photographers of which work I like for longer time. Well I went to their web site and I found some very nice street work. And therefore I decided to put their link on my pages.

As my neighbor pointed out yesterday "you are again in the press" and I find out that the small two page article about street photography I made for Benelux magazine ZOOM is now in newsstands. So maybe that link to this German group of photographer can be useful also to people who read this article.
