Geirix's photostream  

Pictures are not only 2 dimensional portraits of past time, but they tell a story or show us something to amaze and stimulate our minds. In the course of that we learn more about the world and we get influenced and stimulated by what we see.

If there is any photographer that I can say that I would feel inspired by, then James Jarché is the man. He was a news photographer in Britain in the last century and took some amazing moments photos. Unlike Adam Ansel and others - his photos got my attention - he made real photos....unfortunately he is not known by many - just saw his photos with google help one day and started to dig and found that he was a maestro in capturing the right moment....something i'm trying to still get right.

I think pictures can say more then thousand words. It doesn't matter if it's a picture of dead objects or family gathering, picture tells all of us different things, thousands of them.

When working as a news photographer, there are many who think paparazzi - but really, being polite and show respect will get more result then jump all over the subject.
The same goes when taking photos at concert - showing respect and manners gets you much more then just aiming and shooting. Sure you might miss a few shots in the beginning but that will pass eventually.
