Description In case someone cares about my descriptions.


Last night I met Marco from Hungary. He's an art student and travels around the world taking photos. He has a Nikon F501 and D50. He also has three Canon but I forgot the models. Gorgeous cameras.. lots of them. All he had was this huge bag with the five cameras inside. True Maniac. Why would one need 5 cameras?? I don't really know. His answer was 'Why not I like to explore'. He saw me by the road trying to take a shot of the traffic lights. Basically he was lost in my neighborhood and needed help and thought that I'd help a colleague We bought a couple of beers and he shed some experience. He's been on the road for 4 months now. Starting from Hungary, Poland.. to Scandinavia.. then Italy.. then Africa.. then Greece and then Bulgaria (where I live). He had some absolutely magnificent photos. My god this world is so rich and big. He even had some disturbing photos of men hung on trees (that’s in Morocco . We were pretty different in nature but I fell in love with his life. We actually started talking about life and stuff. He has read almost every book about philosophy, because that was the only thing besides photography that he likes to do while traveling. Marco is a super interesting person

So we spoke and we spoke. I read him a poem of mine and he said he loves it. He truly was amazed by my words which made me proud I took him to his digs (that he couldn’t find) and on the road an idea was born between us. I told him that I think street lamps are a modern symbol of sadness (as we were talking about the unexplored modern symbols). I do think that street lamps look despondent. They have this curve at the end.. and blab. I couldn't quite tell what I mean and he couldn't quite see what I mean. So he told me “You have your camera and you have an idea. POSE IT! Show what you mean”.

So yes, this is the start of my first prolonging personal project with my own camera - to try and develop the sadness through street lamps. To the people who would think I'm way too subjective and delirious I'd say Go to hell!. To the others I'd sa You can join if you feel me

I know.. it's something I've never quite found in anyone else. I guess I feel freedom even when exposed.. and all the consequenceds.

I don't think so...People like to share.That's one of the main purposes of I-net right now.Look at all those sites like All kind of blogs,myspace blah blah

You put on your photoshoped pic where you look -Oh so sexy gorgeous..and so on and enjoy how people tell you things that you already know,just to giggle your ego..
Or you write stories bout your life ...but actually no one cares..
and so on..

That is not really exposure.. that's exhibitionism. The truth lies within the nuance in the difference between exposing and exhibitionism..

It`s been a really interesting and influencive meeting.
I can almost feel the magic I think you felt in meeting that person you could talk maybe forever about art and human personality.
An accidental meeting with the right person to make you feel beautiful.

Btw street lamps,in fact, have always made me feel some kind of strange and deep melanholy.
And though I`m not the right person to comment a photo, I like it
