This i definetly can't post on DA... Lol
I think the title is self explanatory ;)

Love

Animal Planet

Anyone who knows me knows I have a passion for animals, and especially my cat, Conrad. So he is the main subject and model of my photos as he is always available and doesn't seem to be annoyed by it.
So here's a post dedicated to him and a few other animals.

I like shooting street cats, each time I see one I try to take a photo. So here's a few of them... The first one was a cat in Bulgaria that appeared near my apartment. I was actually feeding a baby black cat that had been meowing all day inside the engine of a car, he was tiny and would jump in and out of it without a problem... I stayed 20 minutes by the car thinking he was stuck, trying to find a way to take him out of there, when i finally gave up and walked away the little thing jumped out of the engine... hehe. This big one just showed up a bit later, probably attracted by the smell of food. Like the sequence.

Some other cats in Sofia...

And a cat that lives next to a friends house in Sintra... This one is quite impressive as the cat has no nose and most of it's ears bit off.

This one was standing by my building door in Lisbon a couple of nights back. Love how he was sitting. He seemed all important.

Here are a few dog shots. Love them as well, but prefer shooting cats somehow.

I'm not a big fan of macro photography, neither do I have the tools for it... But sometimes i fall in love with these creatures as well... These are two examples... A snail i found in an underground in Sofia, and a little something (hehehe what the hell is it?) with pink stripes and a blue tail i saw last week in Sintra. The focus isn't right, i know.

And that's all for today... It's a pain in the ass posting photos here... I've been here for hours... Maybe it's just my internet that is slow and stupid... who know's.

I hope I find you all well

Beach Shots

So... I should start posting some photos... Have so much stuff i want to post here it's hard to choose how to begin. As the summer is ending, and i'm going to miss it like hell, i'll start with some beach shots i took over the summer. There aren't many because mostly i was afraid of taking the camera to the beach.
These are from 2 diferent days.

This is my favorite of them all




He didn't know i was taking photos until this moment, where he said something like "Hey i'm not ready yet" And the started posing for me... Funny guy...

Some other shots from that day ...

I thought they looked cute, they were lying behind us...

Another day, another beach. My uncle... He does that a lot... I think i might be annoying!

We say this is the "Dior shot"... He wants to be the next Dior model... This is THE photo... hehehehe

That's all for beach shots... I'll try and post some more photos later on today...

Giving In

So... I finally gave in and created a blog.
I've been making fun of blogs for years... Always found them ridiculous...
Why do people need to talk about their lives online? That need fascinated me...

So i practically despised blogs until i found some brilliant photo blogs... Where people don't talk that much about their lives, but use the blog to post their work as a photogapher... And since i've been hooked to a dozen of blogs i visit nearly everyday... It's sad... I know...

So after a lot of thinking, i thought this was actually the easiest and nicest way to share my photos, photos that aren't good enough to post on deviantart, or olhares, but that people constantly ask me for, or just photos i enjoy...
Also, i might add that, lately i haven't been too enthusiastic about my photography, so i really don't feel like posting anything on deviant until i'm able to do something new, something i like...

So... i hope you enjoy. And please... Comment... Critic... Or i'll never get better.

Love to you all,

Marta
