Richard Vanek - Black and White Photography

Interview with me and my wife Viera was featured in June issue of FNV magazine. I asked Hape Smeele, who took our pictures, if I can use one of those shots for my web page. It is a while I was thinking about placing my picture at "About me" page. So now it is there. Hape made color shots, but I took freedom to converted to black and white.
So now you can not only see how do I look, but also you can see Viera on the same picture.

For a some time now I was looking for a good way to mark my prints. You know on back side to put all information needed and sometimes eve required when you send prints to contents. For a years I just wrote them by hand and pencil. I never been sure how permanent that is and not talking about aesthetic value, which was rather low thanks to my poor handwriting.
I had i mind to use stickers and print them on computer and that simply stick them on back of the print. I tried few of those who you can buy in paper shops. most of them either didn't accept a ink jet print or they didn't really stick to the back of the print and could be removed without problems. Only this weekend I bough another set. They are pack by three pieces in sheet of size 9x11cm. I tried them and they seems to work very well. So maybe I am going to use this approach in the future and see how it goes.

You need to be careful not only on a way up, but same care you need to take on way down, to places where you have been and you like to come back to them.
