Ars Photographica

 

I'm an amateur photographer, as it originally doesn’t meant beginner or incompetent, but the lover of something. I’ve started to take photos at the age of 15, but started to gain more interest in it at the end of 2013, since then photography takes an extraordinary place in my life. It acts like some kind of meditation for me, this creative process gives me energy and peace at the same time. In this state of mind I don't really feel like “I am the one who doing this” so I’m not attached to the creation. Physically I set the composition, the exposure, and push the shutter button, but my mind doesn't dominate this, so I don't feel like “I possess this picture I‘ve just took”. Therefore I feel called upon to share my images totally free to use for anything, this is why I use 'Public Domain' licensing for them. You are allowed to use, modify, share any of my images for whatever you would like to, even commercially, it's not even mandatory to write my name under the photo. I feel great about seeing my images in a lot of different circumstances, so feel free to message me about the usage.

  

the sage goes about doing without hustling,

teaching without talking

looking at the flow and letting it happen

does not struggle yet create without possessing the creation

doing but not clinging,

does not preserve the fullfilled creation

therefore never losing it

 

I’m a bit geeky about photography gear and collecting film cameras.
