Where is soozika2?

Freelance technical translator.
Canon Ixus 50.
Born 1957.

I sort of rediscovered photography in about 2004 and although I put a certain degree of ambition into it, I pursue this activity more or less haphazardly and out of sheer pleasure. At the moment, anyway :)

I find praise as nice and helpful as constructive criticism.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN USING MY PICTURES, PLEASE CONTACT ME.
THANK YOU. :o)


The camera inevitably lies, so choosing the kind of lie you want to tell is actually the creative act of photography.
- Brian Eno

Ernest Hemingway: "Good pictures, what camera do you use?"
Irving Penn: "What typewriter do you use?"'

Eventually I discovered for myself the utterly simple prescription for creativity; be intensely yourself. Don’t try to be outstanding; don’t try to be a success; don’t try to do pictures for others to look at - just please yourself.
- Ralph Steiner

Do not assume that everybody you meet is participating in your version of reality.

The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own.
– Susan Sontag

There is nothing worse than a brilliant image of a fuzzy concept.
– Ansel Adams

Aquarius is a miscellaneous set of stars all at different distances from us, which have no connection with each other except that they constitute a (meaningless) pattern when seen from a certain (not particularly special) place in the galaxy (here).
- Richard Dawkins

Reality or existence is a multidimensional and interwoven system of varying spectra of emotions and vibrations - and man's five senses are attuned to only very small bands of these spectra.

Gott ist nicht tot. Er lebt, es geht ihm gut und mittlerweile arbeitet er an einem weniger ehrgeizigen Projekt.

Ein Kluger bemerkt alles. Ein Dummer macht über alles eine Bemerkung.
- Heinrich Heine

Wer zu einer gesunden Identität gefunden hat, braucht sich nicht dauernd abzugrenzen.
– Karl Albietz

The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don’t have it.
– George Bernhard Shaw

Der Idealismus wächst mit der Entfernung vom Problem.
– Galsworthy

In Wirklichkeit ist die Realität ganz anders.

Der Mensch ist zwar der letzte Schrei, aber nicht das letzte Wort der Schöpfung.

Democracy is the pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
- H. L. Mencken

Kunst ist schön, macht aber viel Arbeit.
- Karl Valentin

Man sollte die Dinge nicht so wichtig nehmen wie sie sind.
- Karl Valentin

Alles ist schon mal fotografiert worden - aber noch nicht von jedem.
- Karl Valentin


You ask: "Is anybody out there?"
But a more pressing question is:
"If someone is - how do we explain it all?"
- Dan Page, Cuyagoga Falls, Ohio [reader's letter to TIME magazine, many moons ago]

Die Seele jeder Ordnung ist ein großer Papierkorb. [yay!]
- Tucholsky

Der Friede ist das Meisterstück der Vernunft.
- Immanuel Kant


... so, das reicht b.a.w. :o)
