About AlieN / Gergely Antal  

I am a rock in the river. I see and take snapshots of the flow. But with my presence I also change the flow and make sure I leave some trace of my very being living this wonderful life. I've uploaded a few hundred of the hundred-thousands, many won a lot of attention on flickr and entered into the mysterious world of Explore Top 500.

I did all this on my own from my hobby which started in 2002. Had some masters who gave me a lof of answers, after I was able to ask my well formed questions. When some of them couldn't answer - I have also taken it as an information.

Many feel envy about my job - as they say - but usually they ain't jealous about the amount of work behind it. The physical and mental focusing for long days, the patience with the subjects and your own development, and also not sleeping for nights because there is always one more story needed to be told is generally considered too much. They also say I need to change my life and that I really should not do this.

What do you think? Should I?

On Flickr I think this is a stylish way for introduction:
a photographer friend of mine shot a portrait of me, check it out.
