For an edifice of megalomania manifested in mall construction, I thought it had a pretty interesting glass roof.

What can I say, I love my city. At least it’ll hopefully look good after they’re done renovating it.

In other (joyous) news, ‘The World According To My Camera’ (not to mention the owner) is positively glowing with delight since Onexposure (which is probably the most awesome multi-artist online photography gallery around) published my first photo. Not only did this make that particular photo doubly significant to me, but I also couldn’t believe the feedback and warm welcome I got from both screeners and commentators alike. I definitely hope this to be only the first of several such events.
Cheers!

Luckily, it being light-contact, I didn’t get to witness any teeth flying about or anything along those lines, and I did get a few interesting photos. One of them was of this little guy, looking a bit nervous before his fight…

For the record, as I recall, he did win that one.

The photo was taken at the Dervent monastery, somewhere close to Constanta.

And black and white, because I’m sick of it. Honestly, I’m beginning to think my hands are never going to be warm again, and never have I been this jaded at the mere thought of literally swimming through heaps of the damn thing.

In unrelated news, I have a new vintage camera for my collection. Yay! I might take some beauty shots of it sometime.

Well, what can I say, I got my hands on some face paint…

And then I got pink cotton candy. Boy, oh boy!

In the meantime, enjoy the abstract look of fractured ice on a frozen lake…
