I understand you. These boys live in some parallel world.

Thank you very much! I don't feel that I deserved it.
By the way, for me the favorite photo is "Dedicated to the dignity", because it is the latest of the three (when I make something, usually for me it become somehow "dead").

I tend to also look mostly forward. But that does not mean that the others should not look at my past images

Absolutely. It is with me only a matter of lack of self-confidence: I always think that tomorrow I will not know how to photograph.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wrong, wrong. Tomorrow you'll do better. Until you feel that you'll repeat yourself, which is what happens to me these days.

Now I have to encourage you.
I believe this is happening to all of us from time to time. Awareness that we fall into a crisis is usually just start out of the crisis (and the creation of something new, and often better), although this is perhaps the most painful phase.

I hope you are right, Denis!

I am sure that I am. A lot of things are not up to you.
For example, I know for myself that when I find myself in the situations that really interested me, then I make good photos. Though, mostly I can not choose the places and circumstances in which I will be. These are mostly very boring situation, not inspirational. So is my soul mostly empty, and this is reflected in the photographs.
However, a completely new situation are also not very good: they fascinate me too much, and it interferes with my analytical mind. Therefore I need some time to stop to admire and to begin to rationalize thoughts. Arrangement of new impressions I could also consider as a kind of crisis.
You see, the human mind is very complex.
Therefore, I think you need a change not in photography but in circumstances. Look for new love (I do not think the girl, but in general, although the girl is one of the options), and thereby do not think about photography! Do not think about the audience, which looks at your photos, whether they like something yours! Think about how you will die some day, and what is it that you really love and hate.

You attitude and reaction in front of new situations is interesting. Yes, thinking to it, I can relate to that. Too much excitement is not good, as it will make me forget some details.
Thinking to my future wouldn't work. I am a person worrying only about the present. I almost ignore the future. Carpe diem!

By the way, what do you use for that? A 28mm on a full frame, or a 20mm on an APS-C?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is made with 14mm on a full frame. Call me stupid (what I really am 
I still can not consider myself as a photograph (nor the amateur photographer) if I don't know these differences in terms of impact on the composition. I still am not able to identify the focal length when I see someone's photo. I can only say (but not always): "this is a wide angle" by the position of the main lines, or by the DOF.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was just talking about the angle. This 14mm must be good because the distortion is not as big as what I get with my 10mm with an APS-C.
When so wide, the depth of field is quasi-infinite anyway.
From what I have seen, you have what matters, i.e. a subject and a sense of composition. And none of your images is screwed up because of a lack of technique. I am also very impressed with your black and white and your handling of large dark portions in the image.

I am very proud now
But not for a long. Immeasurable amount of dissatisfaction with my work emerges instantly.
The problem of how to solve "irrelevant" parts of photos gives me lots of headaches, especially when it comes to life ("street") photos. This refers to the DOF, as well as the light-dark, especially since I often do not want crop scenes. I often try to solve it by subsequent post-processing, but many many times I do not manage, and such photographs I do not even show.
Could you tell me what exactly did you mean with words "handling of large dark portions in the image"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was referring to image like your "Excavator", which is exposed just right, despite the very difficult light conditions. The cigarette and the face could easily be overexposed, and the bottom of the hole could turn dark. I am sure that it would take me three or four shots to get it right, which in these conditions is almost impossible.
With a 14mm, you will have to deal with the surroundings, DOF cannot help you and composition alone cannot always handle it. You will need to use another lens. Right now, I carry with me a 10-20 zoom and a 50mm, on an APS-C. I wish to try a 24-105, but I am not even sure that I would like to zoom like that. Too many parameters can get you worrying about things that are not as important as your subject - at least that's my take on it.

"Excavator" was photographed with 85mm lens. This confirm your thoughts about wide lenses. My 85mm is excellent, although I do not use it often.
Your conclusion is comforting for me. I have to hear and read, over and over (thousand times) about the objective problems of shooting.

14 sigma, 85 canon? 85 or 100 are excellent portrait lenses. Maybe a bit heavy if you have the fantastic 1.2
I personally didn't read much, played more trial and errors, shooting (hundreds of) thousands images, which is the beauty of digital photography. In 15 years of analog photography, I hadn't learned as much.

Nikon 85mm f/1.8
Same here. Our shutters don't like us.

I have slowed down significantly lately. First, I wish to keep my cameras a bit longer, secondly lack of time, and... I have learned a bit to judge before shooting.

I am also trying the same, but still there are many situations in which I just have to make that click to see later what will become from it. For me the simplest situations are the hardest, and with them I have to try and try always infinitely many times.

Seeing your results, you must be doing the right thing

Thank you Lina!
That is the reality of the city where I live. Do you still want to know anything about my country?

Awesome shot! Love those faces and the poses! Great potrait!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Faces of the people in the town where I live are the only interesting thing. But, they often like to show themselves as they are not, and that is a difficulty for shooting.
When it comes to gypsies the problem is less distinct. They are more natural.

It's so nice to read. Thank you!
