Reflections of an amateur observer of everything

Well, well...This is an unambitious photo blog. I use it to organize my thoughts, document them forever not to forget.

Some instances I capture - I imagine this is true for any photographer - connect to my mind in a special way. Not always because they are pretty, impressive or artistic but simply because at the very moment I freeze and capture the light, I happen to have a thought that I would remember and together with the instance on film they freeze and connect to the picture forever.

I do not, cannot, should not claim that either the photographs or the thoughts that accompany them have any artistic value. That would be quite arrogant of me. They are at least and at most spill overs from my mind. I hope at least a few will appreciate and enjoy...
