Strike against SOPA – Victory!

Friday, January 20, 2012 Posted in Uncategorized

“We Won for now” – the message I’ve got in email today…

On January 18th, 13 million people took their time to tell Congress to protect the free speech online, stop the internet censorship bills, SOPA & PIPA. Tens of millions of people joined together to defend their freedom. I have also joint the protest along with the biggest Google, Wikipedia and many more. Websites and blogs including mine were blacked out like this:

 

 

It was the largest online protest in history. Billions around the world saw it.

Stop Online Piracy Act /SOPA/ and the Protect Intellectual Property Act /PIPA/ legislative proposals to protect copyright online were dropped by USA Congress today.

These are really good news, for photographers too. Our legislators attempts to protect our rights might have cause more harm than good and could destroy our online marketing strategies and ways to show and sell photographs…

Stepping into 2012…

Saturday, December 31, 2011 Posted in Personal

Another year passes… it is unbelievable how time is flying.
Looking at the past months I have to say that the most important day of this year was the birth of my second daughter Victoria! Yay :) I cannot express how happy I am because of that.
I got to photograph some amazing weddings and witness a lot of wonderful personal moments. It is a privilege and one of the reasons why I love what I do.
I also took a part in a Bon Secour Hospital special project for Kerry Recovery Haven and my photographs were published in a book to raise founds for them. Such a good cause.
I have met wonderful people within the industry and beyond and created new friendships.

Unfortunately I do have to say this year also holds bed experiences. My health problems and delays that were caused by that. Disappointments and tough lessons /subject for blog post in the future/.

Nevertheless these all experiences made me a better person, allowed me to grow personally and professionally.

To wrap-up…  I would like to say an enormous THANK YOU to my fabulous Wife for patience, support and taking care of our family.
A huge THANK YOU to all my wonderful 2011 Couples that trusted me. It was a pure pleasure to meet you all and to photograph your special day.
Thanks a lot to all my industry colleagues and fellow photographers worldwide that I had a pleasure to talk to and work with.

I still have a lot from 2011 to blog about and some announcements to make. So stay in touch and keep visiting…
2012 is just behind the corner and I am sure it is going to be great…

Have a wonderful New Year of 2012!!!

“The Christmas Day brings memories
And kindest thoughts untold,
Of friends we may not often see
But hope to always hold;
So may the greeting be a link
In friendship’s precious chain,
And may there be a Christmas Day,
When we shall meet again!”

To all who visit this blog, my previous, current and upcoming clients, family and friends:

“HAPPY CHRISTMAS”

Back to blogging

Tuesday, November 15, 2011 Posted in Business

I have so many things to talk about and so many photographs to show that I have no idea where to start. I also have a client deadlines that are getting more difficult to meet and that is the main reason why I am way behind with posting on the blog.

I will get back to regular blogging soon and would have some exciting news and updates…
