Minister Doris Bures and Werner Faymann (SPOe) with Westbahnhof under reconstruction in background.
I must confess I had sent emails to representatives of all Austrian political parties offering my services as photographer,
and Franz Voves - governor of Styria (SPOe) was the only one who replied. Thanks, Franz! When I photographed you, I was fantasizing how it [...]

I had not posted for my blog for a long time. It was emotional zigzag.
Zigzags appear in my life as result of failures or psychological traumas, when shift of perception makes me look at my life from another perspective.
Contemplating my professional future, I see my aspirations are mostly inapplicable in Austria. My prospects would be [...]

19.05.08 I often think about illusion of time, invented by our lineal human mind, all past moments (samsara) and future moments exist at the same time
15.05.08 I found wonderful book of Steve Caplin in local library and added patriotic picture to my nude gallery
13.05.08 Three male photographers with Canon cameras assisted me in creation of [...]

Dear Mr. Gusenbauer!

I am freelance photographer and journalist, and once you posed for me and other photographers during election campaign in Graz in autumn of 2006. Unfortunately, [...]

It was nice sunny day - with expectation of happiness in the air. Antifascist demonstration started at Morzinplatz, at 15 o’clock. Small gallery presented here is only what I managed to process today. Unfortunately could not accomplish all. Perhaps as in every other activity professional future of photographer depends mostly on his industriousness and patience. [...]

Why the bird sings? Maybe because of joy.
Street photography which depicts recognizable faces can survive only on pages of private blogs
Blogs which bring to author nothing except two-three duty comments and tons of spam
To go on like that photographer must be bird
Who sings because of pure joy and does not bother herself
about value and purpose [...]

As I already wrote before its always major part of life negativities unavoidable. Oddly enough all my depressing experiences concentrated in sphere of relations. It is like sado-maso games with your own gastronomic perceptiveness. When being invited to occasional restaurant I am hardly appreciative, though never complain, perceiving product freshness and also hygienic conditions it [...]

Vienna, Heldenplatz, 24.02.08, 13.00

I arrived at place more than two hours earlier equipped with three lenses which I eventually didn’t use
When demo started, it was fun to shoot people together with other 4-5 male photographers
But [...]

Normally people don’t like their own photos even of high quality. Portrait photography is the special art of flattery. Everybody has own vision of himself that can be broken by cruel frankness of digital camera vision. Image we perceive with our eyes is processed by multiple filters of our brain. People don’t like their own [...]
