Many of you think that photography is just pushing a button on a camera or even taking some pix with a smartphone. Sure, there are great photographers, who just prefer the light and easy modern techniques instead of carrying the heavy gear and they take good pictures. Still I am not that kind, who prefers to walk with a smartphone or something like that. I need to have the feeling of taking a massive machine to work and to get a result and that is the real feeling of photography for me.

When I talk about photography, I admit it as real Art, because pictures are shot due to feelings and emotions. Art is emotion, Art is feeling and photography is tightly connected with feelings. I love shooting portraits, street pictures and also details. Have you ever roamed around a city trying to find unique details? Must say, it is not that easy as it sounds. Sometimes I walk for hours with the heavy gear on my shoulders and can not find any detail which can be satisfying for a very special picture.

Surely, it makes me nervous but I accept the fact that Art needs time. Art needs peace and freedom. Art also needs admiration and support. Art needs criticism, no matter positive or negative, because any criticism an artist gets, can be used for the further development. For an artist it is very important to get a direct critic or a discussion over the represented work. Any kind of feedback can be helpful and will make a good foundation for the next representation and ideas.
So, go on, guys, create, represent, let others criticize and praise you. Do not be sad or angry about the negative opinions but take those opinions and use them for your future development.
