Notes from 4th Apr 2004
[posted at 10:00 GMT]    

Yesterday, opening of exhibition went quite all right. I was expecting certain people who didn't come, but others who I wasn't sure come. And that was nice surprise.
I have god few advices yesterday about going to school and getting some kind of official paper declaring that I am professional photographer, or something in that sense. But after more consideration I am not sure if I want to go to school. You know I do not want to learn technique, style, history and what ever they teach there. I like to do photography and therefore I will probably go to different route.
I have also got advices about my pictures. The important information which came in from more people was that my images are nice and little mysterious, but they could be more. So advice was to add more mystery in pictures. This come from people who knows more of my work and they saw some images which were really mysterious and surprising. They like those and they advice me to go more that direction. Next was to put more sharper view and less quietness to my photographs. People find my images too calm.
When I think about it I must say that some of that I can see myself and it is good to hear it from outside.
