December - christmas - Me

Seems the weekly pic is dead, got unmotivated by the amount of responses :) What happened the last month:

Christmas is coming so fast that could not obey it longer, it is the holiday of globalisation, shopping, stress, etc. It is not any more about family and love. BUY, BUY, GIFT, BUY, PRESENT, BUY,... I wanted to negotiate to give each other a self portrait, not a photo, but a painting or drawing :) Naturally, they are all so materialists and selfish that such ideas were refused instantly, they want presents! Money is not present!

I was asked what I want for christmas (small letters, it does not deserve to be written in capital), yes, of course, they want present, so they buy you a present, but they ask what should they BUY you for return. They are even lazy to try to surprise you. I asked for books or analogue film. There is no smiley to represent their face ;) The film was rejected and books also, cause I was given books the last christmas and birthday. Yes, cause every book is the same, all contain letters and some even pictures.

...

I become involved in a cooking blog, nothing special, give it a try if interested, but Hungarian language skills are needed or try google translate, but usually the result is questionable. Here ya go, boszikonyha.

...

No pic today, you can find more of my pics on my vivo page, check them there if interested. Will start my own web page soon, will place pictures there regularly, it will be a dedicated photoblog based on customized pixelpost. Will see. Lately was shooting only family, and you know, personal pictures are mostly a no go!

Have a nice day ;)

November rain

It is a month I wrote anything, but still stick to not quit blogging. Not sure why, it's mostly like a personal diary, since it's being public I do not confess with all the things that bother or make me happy.

You can find some pictures from Spain - Malaga, Granada, Alicante in my web album. Few portraits, street shots, landscapes/cityscapes. Will add more pictures later from the bus trip from Granada to Alicante, a 7h marathon.

To publish pictures also here, a portrait from a shooting we did in autumn, the weather was beatiful, crisp colours and light, corn field still not harvested. Unfortunately the session was very short as my beautiful model got sick as soon as we arrived. The picture reflects my actual mood, ill and alone the whole week. But the warm toning help, what you think? :)

Status report

Hi, got back 2 weeks ago, had no time or mood to write. So just a short status report of the last month. Spain is great, food was great, wines are especially great... Actually as on my all trips I got back more tired, trips are to relax and have a rest, but not ours :) My ex girlfriend aka my wife, for sure has some perpetuum mobile in her legs and curiosity for two :) We've visited Malaga, Granada and Alicante. Skipped Barcelona and Madrid as we thought visiting them for 1-2 days is not enough, next time.

I made many pictures, few good and even less great ones. Will post them as soon as I manage to sort them and edit. It is now a habit of mine to forget something to bring with me, like CF card, charger. Lately it was the charger for databank :( so I was again limited in amount of free space. Internet cafe's had all limited HW possibilities (tried 3+), copy centers offered me to burn 2 dvds for 30 euros, sure I pissed them.

Our favorite city from those 3 was Granada or Malaga? Hm, maybe both, Granada is more nicer, first of all the Albayacin or how is it written. Al Hambra is just a tourist magnet, nice but so crowded and expensive, just overrated and priced.

In the home of flamenco we had no luck to see it :( On the other hand we tasted as much food as it was possible. We spent 80% of our money on food and drinks :D God bless them for free tapas!

Then last two weeks were a mess, back in work, deadlines push, stress. Weekends at home the same hurry, visit parents, friends, siblings. I new baby borne meanwhile :)

Will post some pics the next tiem, I have processed the first 3 days already, most f them :)

Weekly pic #20

Hi. The last week I got married, and this weekend we are leaving for our honeymoon into Spain, Andalusia. No post for about two weeks, unless I find an urge to write, not really possible. Till then enjoy the pic.

Weekly pic #19

Hi, as I mentioned, we have been to Czech Republic, canoeing Vltaqa river, here are few pics of Cesky krumlov and the Vltava River.

Deportation of Roma people from France

Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy, will you also deport yourself? Or you want to be the only one in France? Let them bring up the next generation, maybe the next president will be one of them.

Weekly pic #18

So, another week, another pic and status info. Less than 3 weeks left till my wedding, gosh, the year from my engagement just flew away so fast. But looking forward for honeymoon, as had we had no longer vacation this year.
We had a team building event in Czech Republic, were canoeing Vltava river for three days, was great, will post few pics next time, need to scan the pics.
Also got developed 7 rolls of film, so in near future will try to process them and post.

For this week I publish a photo of a homegirl :))

Weekly pic #17

This weekend arrived my new flash, a lumopro 160 :) Had not much time to test, but was playing with long exposure and light/flash painting. Nothing really good created, but lessons learned and the next time gonna have a plan. Here's a picture from an old wine cellar. Hope to post soon, or just check my vivo page, there are more pictures.

Weekly pic #16

Hi, today realized that no post for more than a month, I even can't list all the things I did for that time and anyway, who cares. Was mostly shooting family, nothing creative or interesting :S One picture promised, from fishing and another just to lower my feel of guilt for not posting anything for a long time. Just joking :)

Weekly nopic #15

Hi, almost a month a wrote last time, what to do. After I returned from Saudi Arabia, got developed my pics and published on my vivo page, find it here or through my profile. Quite bad scan but for viewing on monitor enough, later will do some post processing on better ones.

After the business trip had a week of holidays, went fishing with friends, first time the last ten years :) the first two days were great, we caught many fishes, had many beers, ..., shisha. The last two days were just sitting and desperately waiting for a bite, not a mosquito bite, cause there were a lot of them, but for the fishes. As always, the biggest fish got escaped :) Maybe I post a landscape of the lake we've been to.

I am planing to buy a film scanner as now I have many rolls of film not scanned or developed in any way and I want to share them as everybody is eager to see them :P

have fun and check the pictures from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, find the link above.

Weekly pic #14

Hi, this weekly frequency of posts somehow does not work, I miss it too often. My last exceuse is a business trip to Saudi Arabia. Was there for a week, shot only two rolls, will see if anything usable after I got it developed, hope tomorrow. It was a nice experience, different people, different culture, they are kind and helpful but don't want them to work or do something and this will be their decline as oil will run out. They just don't have work habits, their problem solving skills are weak, not much will to learn and I could continue.
Will post a picture from the roll of film they lost at lab and found after many weeks :) Enjoy, more pics can be found at my vivo album, find link on right.

weekly pic #13

Hi, missed man weeks, moved from my temporal place at my sister's, took a bit longer to set up internet connection and many more little problems...

Lately I've been shooting street photography in Budapest, met with great people. Few pics here. Also was shooting portraits for a couple before their wedding, they broke up weeks later so probably will not publish their pictures soon. Was a good experience with positive feedback, but I'm not sure that I would like to get into this business.

I took the films to develop, it's not cheap and takes amazingly long time, 10 days :-O What is worse, they have lost one of my films! I got really angry, and more when remembered what pictures will I miss. Bastards! I really need to develop myself.

Today and tomorrow attending a wine tasting, hope hangover won't last too long ;) And a picture about life in cities, enjoy:

Weekly pic #12

Another ~week, another post, almost. I was shooting quite bit, an after engagement, pre wedding something, not the thing I want to do, but what you don't make for friends, maybe will post some pics after then.

Lately was shooting mostly on film superia, tri-x, ektar, few pics can be seen on my vivo account, see right. Others will be posted after I develop them and scan in low quality :S

Till then enjoy some beautiful tulip shots and my overwhelming one min touchpad skills. bye.

Status report

- This is a horrible week. Every day wakeing up at 6:00.
- Every day spending a lot of money (camera, rental, and more rental).
- Sleeping on the floor at my sister's.
- Found a 'cheap' used lens I wanted longer, but I was strong and resisted. Will return tomorrow?!
- It's raining all the time, got wet 3 times. Got a bit cold because of it.
- Would like to test my new gear, no time ofr it.
- Searching for flat to rent, found many, expensive or not an option.
- Yesterday I was refused to hire a flat, because I am willing to move there with my girlfriend, the old lady is not supporting pre-marriage couples! Not many people think like that nowadays.
- There's a concert today I planned to attend, probably will not.
- They refused to copy the keys to the flat, I need a card whatever that it's my.
- Sitting here instead of going out.

But it's not that bad, found a flat today, payed the caution. Bought a camera I'm going to test soooon :)

Another week, or more? Does not matter. A pic from Danube shore while was waiting for my mother. She lives hard times nowadays. The polaroid frame is great, isn't it? And also the logo I painted in new mspaint using the touchpad :) Enjoy!

weekly pic #7

No picture from last week that I could publish (as they are all personal), so an older picture comes. What? Are you serious?

Weekly pic #6

Got cold and bored sweating all the day in the bed, watching movies, blah blah blah... Here comes a picture of somebody only noticing me, nobody else cares about my huge talent and inner beauty and ... how modest I am :)



enjoy, and keep following me. want more pics or stories, let me know.

Flickr almost Pro account for free

Have you tryed Flickr? Probably yes and you are thinking about a Pro account as the free has limitations that after a short time are quite disturbing. Like only three galleries without embedding, only last 200 photos visible, ... And probably more, but only these are the main things pushing you to buy the pro account. But.

There is a way how to make it work without paying. Groups! Create as many groups as you want and make them public, invitation only. You can add your pictures into groups instead of galleries.

Good luck and enjoy while its not restricted ;)

Weeekly pic #5

More pics on my flick and vivo account, find link on the right side of the main page.

Weekly pic #3

I wanted to go to ZOO till we have snow. I thought how nice it will be to see all those animals playing/walking/sitting in the snow. It was a nice sunny day, so let's go. But it was not as I imagined. Only few animals outside, not so active, cold and windy.

Weekly pic #2

A bit late, but not forgotten. It's quite cold for many weeks here, but without snow... more winter pics here

Skating - pics

Decided not to abandon my blog and promised to put at least one pic per week. Here ya go :)
Oh, the story: 9 young people went skating, with me shooting ;)

Slovak police planting explosives into travellers luggage

A few weeks ago the Slovak police was testing airport security and training dogs etc. A lot was about that written and said, the incompetence of Slovak governing politicians and their ignorance to admit failure...

But a question: what was that person having the explosive in his luggage doing three days with it? Haven't he even noticed it?

...

And a second one: Were Slovak policemen contacted before by airport scanner producing companies?

...

C# - Variable xxx is already defined in this scope

WTF!?

after coming back from holidays I had no mood/time to write anything, so let's change it with a technical stuff. I was writing a C# code (C# is a programming language copyed from Java) and found a strange behaviour of variable scopes unique to this language. Create a for cycle, define a variable inside, define the same variable after the for cycle and an error is shown:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
int xxx = 1;
}

int xxx = 0; //ERROR!

Variable xxx is already defined in this scope.

What scope, that's a child scope and has nothing to do with this one. Arggg.

:D
