I did my first ever short self-portrait documentary film for a Documentary Production Class that I’m taking at AUBG.
The documentary is about my passion for photography – film photography to be precise. You can read a post I did a few months ago about the importance of film photography in my life here. And see some pictures that I took on my film camera here.
The film will soon (tomorrow-the day after tomorrow) be available on this website .
All you have to do is to walk through the storm and rain. In the end, there’s always the sun shining high above you.

A flea market was always a dream place for me to go to. But since I grew up in a really small city, I didn’t have a chance to experience the beauty of not just shopping, but rather looking for interesting, viewy, extraordinary, peculiar and odd things.
Fortunately, I wound up in New York City a few days ago. And the first place I wanted to visit wasn’t Times Square or the Statue of Liberty. I went straight to the Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market.
Simply love that city.
…is that you get to see the magnificent ocean every time you go to work, have a break, or walk back home.
I can’t believe this is my 100th post on this blog. Time really flies fast.
I started this blog because I needed a place where I could put my thoughts, my ideas, photographs. I needed to share them. I needed an audience. It’s been just a few months, but I am SO thankful to every single subscriber and viewer. You guys are great. But I didn’t just want to post pictures and stories. By this whole blog I wanted to tell you that each one of us is beautiful in his/her own way, no matter what this way is. We all go different roads. We are all different. And maybe that’s really the point of life: to find the right path in life and stick to it. Not someone else’s. Your OWN way. With your own dreams and desires.
My blog is what my life is about: I have the privilege to go to different places, meet interesting people and, of course, take my camera everywhere I go, take pictures and then share with you to show that life is so beautiful. And if I managed to inspire at least one of you, I’d feel so so so great. Then it was really worth it.
This is my way. And no matter how hard it is, I stick to it. Everyone of us has its own story to tell, a path to follow. I go my way. What about you?
There’s no need to go to a fancy restaurant if you’re hungry and want to have a delicious meal. There’s no need to go to a cheap, unhealthy fast food place if you’re starving and have no time to cook. The thing is that cooking at home is actually fast, easy and cheap. And it is way more healthier than going out to eat.
I want to point out that right now we’re facing a huge problem – the food culture is changing. Not in a good way. Less and less people cook at home. Breakfasts and lunches at schools basically consist of fast food: pizzas, hamburgers, fries… Veggies and fruits in supermarkets have all kinds of chemicals in them. We need to change our eating habits. We need a food revolution. More about that – in the future posts.
So today, instead of going to Subway (even though I love their subs), I bought a fresh salmon steak. Nothing like McDonald’s fish sandwich, huh?
Seasoned it with the sea salt, pepper, basil, thyme, rosemary.
Fried it in the olive oil for about 10 minutes on both sides until it got nice and crispy.
And that’s it! Add a simple salad to the steak, some garlic bread, and the dinner is ready. Simple? Yes. Delicious? Oh yeah.
Don’t forget to put a few drops of lemon juice on the steak when it’s done. Enjoy your meal.
What could be better than watching a baseball match in New York City for the first time in your life? Watching a Yankees game with a 20-year-old Zenit and a pack of B&W film, of course! Great game, fantastic atmosphere and unforgettable experience! Go Yankees!
