Me, Myself and I

We always must have a little faith...
Believe in love, believe in good, in a better tomorrow, in an other reality,
or just in anything else..
The point.. That You have to believe.

I'm working as a photographer. A started to take photos since 1989. My Grandfather was my master. I've never met a so talented photographer like him. He was a real professional. We made a lot of excursions across the United States, and in Europe also. We took many pictures together. He made with his absolutely pro. Minolta, while I have to use a Praktica ( cause my Grandfather said that, that is almost the best for learning ) and only b&w films that times.. Many years later I changed to digital. I used a plenty of machines, I've got more then one dozen digital camera in the last 3 years. (Canon 300D - 10D, Fuji 9500, Canon Pro1, Canon G5, Olympus E300, KonicaMinolta Dimage A2 ..etc ) Now I'm using a 350D mostly with Tokina Atx optics, and Hoya Pro1 filters.

Nowadays I teach people how to take photos. They called me "professional", but I don't think that I'm. I'm far away from it.

Photos... my life, and the photos what I took.. they're telling stories about my life...


The same in hungarian:

Fotósként dolgozom. Állandó jelleggel '89 óta fotózom. De már előtte is próbálkoztam.. Nagyapám volt a tanárom, aki profi fotós volt. Együtt utaztunk az Egyesült Államokban, majd később szerte Európában, és rengeteg képet készítettünk együtt. Akkoriban egy Praktica Plc3-at használtam, kizárólag fekete fehér filmekketl ( mivel Nagyapám kijelentette, hogy tanulásra az a legjobb ) míg Ő egy abban az időben legfelső kategoriásnak számító Minolta-t. Évekkel később digitálisra váltottam. Sok gépem volt az elmúlt évek alatt, körülbelül egy tucat ( lásd a fenti listát ). Most épp egy 350D-t használok Tokina Atx objektívekkel, Hoya Pro1-es szűrőkkel.

Mostanában ( lassan már három éve ) fotózást tanítok másoknak, főleg kezdőknek. Sokan "profi"-nak hívnak.. de én nem tartom magam annak. Sok-sok tanulni valóm van még. Ez az egészben a legszebb.. hogy mindig van valami új.

A fotózás több mint egy munka vagy bármi más, számomra ez egyfajta szerelem.
A képek amiket készítek.. mind-mind egy egy történet, egy fejezet az életemből.

It's always good to have one who shows you how to take shots, but there is something which goes beyond the technique, which you can't learn. The eye for the motive, either you have it or not. But you can train a lot. The other point is. To be a professional depends on the viewpoint. It's like an award which is granted to you. Only other people can say to you that you are a professional. You are doing very good shots. So take this as compliment for your work and that you are on a good way when people call you professional.

Thank You very much for Your kind words Michael. You know, I really don't know "how good I am"? Many people said, that I'm very talented ( someone called me "crazy talented" ), and nowadays just "professional". But I have to say to You, that I can't believe in myself. I'm very critical with my works. Most of them.. I don't like them at all. I feel them too "common", and I can notice every little mistakes, failures on my pictures. And if I noticed just one, I'm disappionted with the photo, and with myself either. You know, I took photos since my childhood.. I have 50 or 70 thousands of photos.. but I have about 5 photos what I'm proud of. And I'm not 100% contented with them, neither. So.. maybe I'm too critical with myself. Or else? Well, I do know.. that I have to learn a lot, yet. And who is professional? The one who "called" professional by many people, not by himself.
Thank You again for your words, thoughts, I really appreciate it!
