About 120,000 people in colourful clothes took part in Vienna’s annual Rainbow Parade on Saturday to call for equal rights for gays, lesbians and transvestites.

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.

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

People don’t like their own [...]

through troublesome process of advertising.
Artistic talent is [...]

I have never met photographer who would not consider himself to be genial.
Most of them including those who photograph only for home archives - regard them to be unsurpassed specialists in photography and also consider others species with cameras to be ridiculous. Whenever I meet with next hobby photographer he hurries to give me advice [...]
