my side of teh story

someone had to study hard but somehow mind was not into it.. so, as an escape from that situation, we went out to get some beer. there was a pleasant evening light outside, so I took my camera with me.

there is biggest Latvian river flowing along next to our house, so we took a turn.

later it turned out more like a portrait session.

perhaps, b/w’s look better.

than color. I like both anyway ; )

closer.

and closer.

at local supermarket.

no, we won’t be making pizza for dinner!

opted for a different brand this time..

waiting for the traffic light to turn green. beautiful light. shooting into the sun again.

I somehow succeeded talking into extending our little session further more.  guess someone loves the attention..

further away

and closer again.

I remember that not so long time ago I’ve avoided shooting portraits. felt kinda uncomfortable doing so.. not knowing how to interact with my subjects etc. not that now I’d say I know how to make pictures of humans “properly”, but at least I feel more confident doing so.

so here is one more set of two photos

“Don’t know whom to help?”

this is a cat. and you are a mouse.

I know there has not been a lot of variations subject-wise in this entry, but.. I just like the photos for obvious reasons.. and don’t care much for the rest.

this leads me to the ‘philosophical’ questions, like.. what to do with all the photos we take? is there a purpose for them to exist? what is ‘worth’ to make a photograph of? I think I’ve already answered them here above.

and one more random conclusion in closing: I can’t stand when people tell me what to photograph. and also  the rhetorical “what are you photographing there?”. aghh!
