Iam a musician but i always wanted to be a painter, so iam both. Iam not a good photographer ,but i select memories, so i can remember what i have seen. All you , here in Flickr, inspired me with your own way of viewing everything in so many different and so beautifull ways, so i decided to make a new start ,in the world of photography. Be patient with me , iam not a quick starter and i think that i must , at first, buy a decent camera to start in the proper way. Many thanks. Heleni....Greece

Well, my friends,( i hope,) i've just managed to buy that camera! (January 2009)

A CANON EOS 1000D! It is realy a beauty! Now starts the difficult part! Me and my boys are trying to make her feel at home! And make a strong relationship with her! I hope that she will be happy with us! ;-)))))

Well , i want to introduce you to my self! Read 16 things ,about me, and see if you like me as a person!

It's ok ,if you don't, just don't put me as a contact!

Because, this is what i want to say:

I love to communicate with the people ,that i have as contacts! It's a kind of relationship! Where i appreciate their work, their personality and feelings! I don't want to have so many contacts, because i want to be able to care for them and be present, at their work and lifes!

So, don't put me as a contact, if that is not alright with you!

Because, relationships need both parts to be interested , for keeping it!

Thank you for understanding!;-)

Please read the 16 things ,that are parts of my self!....

I was tagged from my lovely friend M_Jose www.flickr.com/photos/anotherphilosophie/ to write 16 things about my self!

Well, it's not easy to write about your self ,but here are 16 things about me............!

1.I love life even when things are not good at all! I take everything seriously ,I philosophise everything, even the smallest sign or fact counts on me to help me understand everything around me ( or in the world) !

2.I love people , not….. every time ! But it is a very interesting experience to live among them!

3.I love nature, in all her forms!!! I am trying to live with her, not against her!

4.I love every kind of music but i can also appreciate as much, the beauty of silence and the sounds of nature!

5.I love children, as much as it gets ! It’s amazing to see a personality in process! I would love to have 3…4..or more….. But happily, my two boys have so interesting personalities, that I feel like I am raising a basketball team.

6.I also love being alone, sometimes for a long period ! Its an inner necessity to communicate with my self!! I have no problem to stay alone!

7.I never got bored in my life!

8.I’ve got the best lessons about life, from people I didn’t like, respect or made me feel unhappy. It’s better, when you give examinations about life, to pass them in the first period. That’s a way to avoid to do again and again the same test!

9.I love to communicate with people and not just wasting my time with them. I don't have many friends, because I think that friendship is as serious relationship, as marriage!

10.I believe that everyone is unique and respectable for that!! I don’t like to put labels on people!! I admire people, not for their titles, wealth or power, but for the depth of their personalities…It’s so difficult to achieve that!

11.I love learning !! Because this is the purpose of our existence on earth, in my opinion! Learning about everything, but most important about our selves! Improving them every day of our life…...it’s a full time job, we have no time to criticize others.

12.I believe life is very difficult most of the time... but that’s life! But if you decide to live …do your best!

13.I am not afraid to die! Life and death are the same! I always say that if you want to do something, do your best. Live with style or die with style!

14.Being my self was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done, in my life! And choosing to be my self, has always a cost! But it worth it!

15.I had a difficult life, but that made me appreciate life with joy.

16.The dream of my life was to live, either in a hogan in the deep end of a forest (with my books, all kind of animals, music, painting, pottery, I didn’t found a solution for internet though, planting, I love cooking, ) or on a wherry, having the same equipement as above, with me!

Well it’s difficult to contain a personality in 16 sentences !

I didn’t started yet, to speak about the minus of my personality! Hehe :-D)) !
