I was born a Hungarian, in February 1948
I am what I am and do not know what significance it may have.
Mainly because what I am today I was not yesterday and will not be tomorrow.
So perhaps it is truer to say that I'm just being.
And being what?
I do not know. If anyone knows please tell me ...

Today I like things that did not know yesterday ...

Today I know what I did not know yesterday.

And I want to get there fast tomorrow because I want to learn what I still do not know ...

I can not live without learning.

Moreover, living and learning are one and the same thing to me.
For you not? What a pity ...

Photography and me...

Photography is more than mastering the technique and have a good camera.
Photography is heart + soul + mind e. .. a little - or a lot - of luck.
And - of course - good equipment.
I started shooting in November 2009, close to celebrate my 62nd birthday.
I had bought a cheap camera with the purpose to see if I had any talent for photography.
I can not answer this.
What I do know with absolute certainty, is that photography has changed my life. It changed my thoughts. It changed my feelings. It changed my way of looking at the world. It changed everything I was.
And for the better ...

Do not ask me what I mean with my art.
I do not mean anything. I just want to live my art.
Art is my Love, my Religion, my Politics and my Philosophy.
So ... Art is my LIFE. And that's all I want.

Knock on my face and I'll forget you in the next instant.
Do me a kindness and I will remember you forever.
Dalma Szallonntai

Blind faith is good for fools. And for those too lazy to think, analyze and understand ...

Art - Artists - Ego

The most unpleasant thing in life - for me - and to live with the "Super Stars" with hyper inflation of the Ego.
And among us - the artists - they proliferate like mushrooms after rain.
In fact they are not great at anything - except for the Egos.
They are poor and think themselves superior to others.
The truly great are simple and do not multiply demands.
They are understanding and tolerant. And artists are the best because their art comes from a great soul, not a huge Ego.

Death?
It is the largest, cruelest and most convenient of all the lies have already spoken at all times.

"A TESTIMONIAL FOR YOU
This person is one of the best role models for FLICKR members.
First - she is an excellent photographer
Second - she is an excellent administrator
She is one of the few administrators who can do it all:
a. set up the group
b. write the code
c. administrate the group well
d. be very kind to group members
e. has the ability to discern the good from the mediocre
Third, she is a good colleague - she supports and helps others
She brings all her talent and good intentions to FLICKR and we are fortunate to have her.
Personally I am very happy to have "met" her on FLICKR.....
Bravo - I salute you!"
