365: Olivier Robert

There is a lot going on with my life right now, this is the reason why I haven't published articles on a regular basis lately. It is a shame, I am sorry about it. I have many stress sources right now and I did not want the blog to be one more.

When you are stressed, my advice is to visit Olivier Robert's website. Olivier takes peaceful photographs, ones that help you relax. Olivier takes mostly black and white pictures in the Genova area. If like me you enjoy his work, you can buy prints of his photographs.

Olivier publishes photographs on a daily basis, although it is not written on his website he does a 365 project. When I told him about 365 projects, he answered he was actually hoping to go for a 730 or even a 1095 project. I wish him good luck!

And by the way, don't forget the contest ends in 4 days!!

12 Photos Of New York

This is dedicated to my beloved, a New York's fan, Alicia Keys' fan and this song's fan, who always support me.

♫ In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh
There's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York ♪♪

Precious Broadway <b>Hey you, if you came here from explore page I would kindly ask you to FAVOURITE this image. This would help me a lot :) Thanks and have a nice day!</b> --- Hi everyone. Here is a new shot from my trip to the states last year. If you are like me you might like all the colors and lights. If you haven’t been to New York go there. Times Square is awesome to practice taking cool photos. The changing lights and moving people make it a hard Job. As you can see it in the left corner I have been lazy… :)  So how are you doing lately?  The best wishes to all you nice friends!

19.365 - Fame <b><a href="http://bighugelabs.com/onblack.php?id=4289962510&amp;size=large" rel="nofollow">Please View On Black</a></b>  <b>The Brooklyn Bridge </b>is undoubtedly one of the most photographed bridges in history.    Mostly because its been around for 127 years.  Photography has only existed 58 years longer.  <b>Still...</b>just deck it in lights, wait til the sun sets, and youll believe its opening day again.  Wish I had some fireworks in there. <b><i> Contacts can download original file for personal use, but beware:</i></b> This picture is <b>E-NORMOUS.</b> 7554px on the long side.  This is a big tribute to the unbelievable sharpness of the Nikon Nikkor 35mm AF-S 1.8G.   Four Vertical shots, stitched in Photoshop CS4, Post in Lightroom 3 Beta  f/9, 6 sec, ISO200.

Times Square Rain Dance <b>Hey you, if you came here from explore page I would kindly ask you to FAVOURITE this image. This would help me a lot :) Thanks and have a nice day!</b> --- <b>Woow woow woow!</b>   Times Square is awesome. I shot a couple of cool images there. This is one of it. I hope you like it as much as I do.  Look at the beautiful reflections on the street… There was a women standing right beside me saying: ”Man what a bad luck you have. It has been raining the whole week and you take pictures.”  I replied: “Good Lady have a look at the beautiful reflections on the street. I think I am really lucky to be here when it rains”.  I think the image wouldn’t have been half as good if there wasn’t a Noah like rain that night.  --- At the moment I am working as an intern for an electrical company and I really have no time to edit photos. It is so sad because I really have sick material laying here on my harddisk and even more sick ideas how to bring out cool images. I really hope to find some moments in the days to come to share some of the shots with you.

Wall Street Here is the New York Stock Exchange, the most famous financial institution in the world.  Ever since 911 they put up that huge American flag across all the columns.  I thought it looked cool in the late afternoon shadows.

Flying High with Adam Miller (Tac0) (EXPLORED)

Flying High with Adam Miller (Tac0) (EXPLORED) This is my first attempt at using Lightroom 3 to handle a Flickr upload.  This could help me get back on flickr faster than I thought.  Many thanks to Jason Thorne and his Team for allowing me this awesome angle under the ramps.  Check this guys out at <a href="http://jasonthornefmx.com/" rel="nofollow">jasonthornefmx.com/</a>
