Who is he - the man of the big city? Self-assured, extravagant, the one on his own mind? Or is he a mild and vulnerable creature, hidden under the mask of imperturbability?
Whoever he is, he is the part of the world. The same part as you and me. He begs for love, safety and satisfaction. These are the things that nourish him. These are the things that generate his desire to live. But all these things don't fall from the sky, while one is on his way from work to home. For each a person should strive for.
In the minutes of bustle one should remember that there is always a choice: to be the part of or to deny. There is no way to stand in the middle. There is no way to sit on two chairs at the same time.
These pictures were created the previous week and to be honest they are completely different from what I usually do. For me it was a great experience! I tried to push myself out of my comfort zone, just to feel what I can create. I put myself into new conditions. And I should truly admit that this shoot has opened up something new for me concerning people and me personally.
I believe it is great to push oneself our of the comfort zone from time to time to see yourself in new perspective, to get new experience and feelings in life. Simply to see who you truly are. That is why these days I wish you great stepping ups out your comfort zone.
Tell me about your experience, how do you step out of your comfort zone?

In the bottom of the shark exhibit there is this glass tube with a moving walkway that you can go on and look up and see all of these sharks swimming over your head. Well, this is what it looks like at night time. The moving walkway is shut off and on both sides is a little shelf... just the right size for a sleeping bag. If you look closely you can see where about 10 of us slept on Tuesday night... way cool!!!! Most of these sharks have to keep moving to breath so all night long you just looked up or 6 inches to your side and were face to face with hugh sharks.
I had my little led flashlight that has a red light and noticed that if you put the light right up against the glass the sharks would dash right at you... kept me entertained until about 3 AM! :-)
explore Prokosko Lake during weekend, got out of the comfort zone , sit on the edge of cliff and find out this should be one of the most amazing places in Bosnia.
Back 2 my comfortzone (Photographicly that is, physically not because it was friggin`cold)
Dawn @ Kinderdijk this morning at 7:54 am.
Yes, It was very early. Totally unlike me :)
Thanks for all your views, comments and faves :)
I usually use long lens at the street, 85mm, 135mm and sometimes 180mm. My approach is to capture the natural side of people. I don't want to interrupt anything happening due to my existance. Using long lens does make it easier as people don't notice as you are usually meters away from the action. This makes me staying in my own comfort zone, I just can't put the camera in front of people's face and take their picture. This is not my style.
I am not anti-short lenses at the street. I have seen many great street photos that are from lenses of 50mm and wider. But I am anti of people that anti-long lenses at the street. That's no right or wrong and they are just different things. Inspired by many great street photosgraphers I always want to bring out my 50mm lens to the street and take some photos which I seldom did before. I did not satisfied with the results in my first couple of 50mm sessions.I was unable to get into the action close enough but this is very important for street photos with wide lenses. I started to get closer and closer but I was out of my comfort zoom and it's seems that I was breaking into people's comfort zone at the same time. I doubted if this is my thing but I decided to keep trying. After a couple of 50mm sessions I am more getting used to it. The result is not still far from satisfactory but at least I understand how things might work using 50mm at the street.
Recommend a very interesting read, check out XpatScot's blog, on his thoughts on the comfort zone at the street.

Never ones to turn down a challenge we were asked to step a little outside our comfort zone and to paint up a recently purchased Asgard bike shed with a wraparound wildflower meadow scene featuring a hummingbird. Okay then. Game on.
First up we had to come up with a design they were happy with and it’s funny how sometimes things are easy to design but tricky to paint. That should probably be a memo to self. Next up - the fun part. With the shed disassembled we got to work throwing some paint around. After a few furious hours, we had to stop due to rain but when we got back to it it all seemed to fall slowly into place. Whack a fancy little hummingbird on there and some varnish and you’re good to go. Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?
Cheers

This week, for the Digging Deeper class, we are to focus on our comfort zone and then push beyond that.
For me, I am most comfortable shooting pictures at home or in the backyard. Shooting outside of my home or yard is way out of my comfort zone (unless we are talking about a "looking down at the feet" shot).
Later this week, I guess I'll push myself to find some moments away from home to capture.
This is me.
In my bathroom.
After a glass of wine (that made me tipsy-- just one glass!).
And dinner.
Now You -- Digging Deeper
Week 3
My older Flickr friends know that I have not picked up a camera in over two years and that I have been a tad scarce on Flickr. However, today I picked up my small Panasonic camera and started snapping at various items around the home, starting with my boots which I almost tripped over! Not terribly exciting but hoping that my inspiration will improve.
MORNING LIGHT THOUGHTS . . . at the Artist's Colony.
My brother is older than me and became a photographer first when he was in high school. He was on the Yearbook Staff; he shot black and white for the newspaper. His friends were photographers; he went to a photography school after high school graduation. People throughout the state knew my brother as a photographer.
As far back as I can recall, my brother took photos. The one I'll always recall was of the Grand Canyon, before he'd practiced much photography and wasn't a professional. My brother is a natural photographer, much better than me.
But one of the things my brother and I share is a great-grandmother who was completely blind and we share an entire series of mysterious vision issues.
My brother was a wedding photographer for decades and use to shoot dances and proms and other things professionally. He knows and knew film and developer and darkrooms. Then his vision began to decline.
I don't know what my brother thinks. Maybe he believes that all of photography depends on the eyes, but I believe photography starts in the heart, in the soul, in the mind and spirit. Those things have only deepened in him as he's grown older; he can now see things with his heart that he could never see with his perfect, youthful vision.
So what, my brother's vision is not perfect? So what?
A art museum curator once told me that in order to become an artist, a person must first live life and have something to truly say about life with their artistic skill. The skill may come along young, but the voice and inner vision matures later.
I hope my brother will begin experimenting with digital photography. As a darkroom/lab photographer, my brother knows more about photography than nearly any youth-filled pixter who owns a digital point and shoot. There's a place for all.
Sometimes, we just need to borrow someone else's vision of ourselves before we can see that tucked within we still have a song yet to sing before we leave this earth. Or in my brother's case, we still have memories to record and visual beauty to impart.
I'm the natural writer, artist, and occassional poet of the family, but my brother is the natural photographer. Whether he picks up another camera again or not, he always will be a natural photographer.
I realise that I probably spend too much time stood in the dark half feezing to death waving lights so sometimes it's good to jump outside my comfort zone and shoot a model in a studio. This stuff is not as easy as you might think, lights, poses, hands, etc all play a part and I think I've just about got the hang of this!
Thanks for stopping by and view this photo. The reason for posting this photo on Flickr is to learn so if you have constructive feedback regarding what I could do better and / or what should I try, drop me a note I would love to hear your input.
View on Black the way it should be seen!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! Hardest job in the world!
Concept number 8, I know I look like a serial killer, but it's symbolism! Read my blog if you don't get it.
Ich bin gar nicht in der Komfortzone, ich bin im Exil, schon vergessen? Der deutsche Grauschleier ist hier nicht und ich sehe klar. Ich fürchte nur Allah. Ihr könnt mir gar nichts.

Definately out of my comfortzone here, trying some landscape photography... couldn't resist when I saw the purper heather:-)
Nothing like getting everyone to agree on something, right??? I spend a great portion of my work day getting information out to everyone so that we can all agree on the correct path to take on any given task... this probably exlains the hair loss.... :P
What's even more exciting in our society is that everyone has a different interpretation on the same information and then we all take off in different direction to accomplish the same task.
We had the opportunity to stay in an old colonial house that has been converted to a bed & breakfast along the shore of Lake Naivasha and these scenes greeted us every afternoon as the different animals visited the small water hole right in front of the porch we sat on.
