Time to sort out...
- 17 months ago - 4 comments

Hi every1! Thanks to those who view and comment my work. Especially those who do not feel like they are the only in the know (majority, i.e.). I have reached the 1,000 image limit of the free accounts. What happens next? I will delete images with the least view count, especially those showing some girls clad in black garments, as those shall either be attracting views or they just... should not be there. I would like to showcase my images of Latvia here - latex-clad girls are posted…
The project revisited
- October 12, 2011 - 1 comment

It is rather hard to restart something that was left to rot. Difficult to say whether it would have been harder to approach the same people that were involved in it before or to start it over with new ones. I am restarting the '21st century Riga', would be glad to hear your comments. The ones relating to photography, more than those delighting in the beauty of the model. Could we agree on that?
Importance of being well-equipped
- July 29, 2011 - 1 comment

For years, for all my previous life I thought that there is no need to buy the high end technology, the overpriced, specifically marked, show-off equipment. Until I finally bought a well-known brand lens. Not the very cheapest. Matching my camera. It made a difference. A change for the best, I believe. It's up to you to judge now.
So, this had to be done
- March 7, 2011

Hi, everyone! Only recently I realised that also ipernity places restrictions on users accounts. Those of the numbers of images visible. Well, unlike flickr, the limit here is 1,000. I had overlooked that. Spent two days deleting images. Now there are only publicly visible ones, and less than a thousand. What I considered less good - is gone. Somewhat sad, but then - maybe it had to be done long ago. Therefore everyone is invited to review my gallery - all there is. If I succeed with…
Oh, now it's official
- January 31, 2011

Yes. The Raven will be performed in it's ideal setting on 15 March, at 7 p.m. In the Small Guildhall in Riga, with participation of the band PŪCE / Strix, a men's choir and some more live musicians (to be announced). So the R Project at last will have some ending. Either a gala night crowning the (overly) long period of work or a disastrous fall ending anything that was ever attempted. We'll see. If anyone also wishes to come and see - let me know. It can be arranged, I believe.
OK, guys! Laimīgu jauno gadu
- December 30, 2010

Well, that is one thing we all might need for the next year: good luck in our dealings and happiness in our private lives. Which both I wish to you sincerely. Feel free to inform me as to how my wish was implemented! ;-)
Winter
- December 21, 2010

Cold. Snow. Ice. Normal! This is winter. Despite -10 (or so) degrees I have managed to take some images. Not quite the ones I wish to (for the lack of willing models), but still. Some are already uploaded. Some more will follow.
18 November
- November 17, 2010

Yes, it is tomorrow. The national Day of Latvia. The day when some 600 people came together rather secretly and announced that they want the territory they live in to be called Republic of Latvia in the future. It took several years before this illusory state was turned into something tangible and capable. It took just about twenty years for the neighbouring superpower (?) to spread out its tentacles and to re-expand over the land of Latvia. But: the name was there, and it stayed. Expect…
The slow spring
- March 31, 2010

Yes. The spring may bring the hope for the better future and bright summer, but it actually is the time when all the reserves are devoured and nothing is returning yet. The melting snow turns into floodwaters the (slowly) melting ice traps increasing danger. The days are much warmer. The sun rises higher. Another year of our lives... Over the course of history people have changed their ways of counting the beginning of the new year. What is it beginning in the middle of winter?! Absolutely…
Now. This was done
- November 4, 2009

Yes, the performances took place on two dates around the Halloween. As you may expect I took no image during those, some of those taken by other people can be found here: http://picasaweb.google.lv/Unguss
Ok, then...
- August 6, 2009

So, gentlemen (and also you, eventual ladies)! Most of what I have done in my life in the area of The Raven Project has now been uploaded here. Not gems alone, also the leaves and rags, and dirt to wrap them in. But at least it is obvious where I am and where I have been. Maybe I myself will get some idea of where I am going to... You can help me with some guidance in case you feel like!
Some work done
- August 4, 2009

In about a month I have uploaded some of my images. The main aim was to get the new work on the Raven Project here. There will be also the rest of it showcased, and it is more hundreds of images. So those having visited this gallery: stay tuned, and wait... The music is that of the mini-opera, still in raw version, not fully finished editing, though close to that. The images of Riga in this century will also get some updates, but those are still to be created. Plans have been made, but I de…
So...
- June 20, 2009

Hi Everyone! Here are some series of images I am currently working on. No digital manipulation has been performed on them except what one would expect from regular raw processing. As I am uploading them in bulk (and the inbuilt uploader was accidentally blocked), I will arrange and describe the images in some time. Feel free to watch, comment, criticise, suggest - that is why I am putting them up, actually!
