The Aegean

Can't stop posting about Mediterranean. It is very very beautiful.

I am in Mediterranean

After having talked so much about it, I am now in the Southwestern coasts of Turkey, which is obviously Mediterranean. This is so re-freshening. Since it is September, there is no wild sun and no wild heat. Everything is calm and it is very relaxing. It isn't cold either. But it is very windy.

Maybe I can make my own photos here, instead of wandering all around Flickr like mad.

Questions questions

Well, a friend of mine who recently visited my blog asked me about why I do not continue on my posts with my ongoing therapy and depression. I decided to share my answer.

At the time I have started blogging, I was in a therapy and it didn't went really well. I had to find my own way to cure my depression and I did that, at least to a certain degree. However now I believe more in dynamic type of psychotherapy instead of cognitive therapy. Anyway, that's a technical issue.

What I do instead is to concentrate on beautiful imagery. Some of you may noticed that I primarily blog about photos around Mediterranean (my famous Mediterranean love) and body paints. Although body paint pictures in my blog draw more attention in comparison to photos of sea and sun around Mediterranean, I love them more :)

Anyway, for those of you who were curious about the same thing, that's my brief answer.

By the way, if there is anything you want to ask in private, just use e-mail. It's on my profile page.

Garden In Monaco

While my Mediterranean love continues, I am now looking at HDR photography over on Flickr. I have to confess that I don't like the idea at all. The photograph you see above is an HDR photo. I don't really have too much information on this technology but I simply don't like it.

The above photo is a nice example of HDR. Not every HDR photo is that nice though. I am not against photo manipulations. However it just takes the beauty of the nature and the truth out of a photo.

What truth, you may ask. I mean the truth we share through our naked eyes and that truth is reflected on photography. Anyway, I respect the hard work of technology but... that's it.
