I AM GOING HOME

by anetesoodaLeave a Comment on I AM GOING HOME

Once a year I allow myself to go back to my roots, see my family, friends and enjoy the full color of Latvia.
I have packed my shit and cleaned the house, plus I’ve had time to make myself look decent and prepared.
For two and 1/2 weeks I will leave social media and blog to have its own life so I will give you a little gift – I will show you some treasures of my past and who made me the person I am now today. You will think that I am being silly, all that is just junk, but these are significant objects, places and things that are big part of me regardless where I am now.

All images are taken this year, in March when I was in Latvia for three days dealing with my bloody toothache.

I was there again, this time with different people and different expectations. Still beautiful and earthy place and took my breath away once again. I also picked up more images, so well done me.

Flamborough North Landing Cliffs

Anyway…there is this amazing place quite nearby, my boyfriend organized little trip for his friends from Latvia and us just to have a grasp of beautiful land that we live in. I only took my camera for one purpose – use my “photographer” skills to give his friends something to look back to.
After arrival I could not stop saying “OH WOW” “AMAZING” ” BEAUTIFUL” “AM I STILL IN THE UK”ect.

I was not focused on taking professional landscape photographs whatsoever and what the heck! – will do next time, although I thought I had a bit more than you will see on this post below.

The weather was fantastic, breeze was just lovely and the view was breath taking. I think I have discovered little “magic land” nearby and I will go back there again and again –  with and without camera.

Just the top it all up – we had a great company and delicious homemade pizza after the climbing and walking.

SOLAR ECLIPSE/TOOTHACHE

by anetesoodaLeave a Comment on SOLAR ECLIPSE/TOOTHACHE

Do you remember the recent event of solar eclipse?
I do. It was wonderful, painful and unforgettable.
Wonderful because space, our planet, sun and moon, and people are wonderful.
Painful because I was in agony with my bloody toothache and that day of the whole painful week was the day I can register in my head as “I happened”
Unforgettable because I [we as a group] embraced this historical moment. We climbed up the one of the tallest buildings in town, best spot in Hull to watch solar eclipse, amazing people organised the whole thing and most important I recorded this little wonder.

Series of images with the peak of the eclipse:

Series of images with the fade of the eclipse:

OFFICIALLY FIRST POST

by anetesoodaLeave a Comment on OFFICIALLY FIRST POST

I would like to share on of my favorite quotes within photography.

“Through the medium of photograph, personal truth becomes public fact.”

[p.15. Photo Texts, P. Turner&G.Badger]

I have to admit that I question my self  whether I understand it fully, but I like this quote, because it reminds me of how much there is to learn about meaning behind photography.
