Memories

I miss Graz and its streets more than I miss Kyrgyz steppes, and it seems both are lost forever, though first is not far than 200 km from me, and native lands where I used to run being a horse lay in other part of the world

Yesterday I tried to depict some of die sterreichische Opfer des Nationalsozialismus at Heldenplatz (so many candles were lit there) together with 5-6 professional photographers equipped with massive cameras. Though I was eager to make portrait of chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer and he had not appeared (what a disappointment), it saved me and my Nikon D200 with Sigma lens from disgrace, because in very poor light conditions it was shamefully dead.

Know amateur photographers who are absolutely convinced that type of camera plays no role weather you produce masterpiece or shit. But after gaining experience I see it is not true
