About Tumblr
Hello world. A few confessions.
Tumblr is just great. Love it.
I've had an account for a few months but only recently I've started to roam around Tumblr, find new people and post seriously. It took me a while to figure out what to post but then I decided to concentrate on photography, especially on black and white photos.
It's amazing how much I've learned while thinking what to post and surfing the net trying to find new interesting photos. Until now I've posted oldest known surviving photograph, the most expensive photo to date, photojournalism photos by Lewis W. Hine, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Sally Mann and Robert Doisneau, my favorite actors and actresses, musicians, rare behind the scenes photos and so on..
All I can say is that I really love photography and photojournalism is my favorite style because every picture has a story behind it. I wish I would have the courage, knowledge and means to turn myself into photographing people instead of nature.
The most beautiful and interesting photos I've found:
Untitled #96 (1981) by Cindy Sherman was sold at auction on May 11th 2011 for $3,890,500 making it the most expensive photo to date.
Jessie in The Wind (1989) by Sally Mann
Black Eye (1991) by Sally Mann
Jessie at Five (1987) by Sally Mann

Art, history. I'm home. My Tumblr is here.
What else... I've come to the conclusion that I want to change my life. Current situation is not what I want.
So I've started to run - something I haven't done. Ever. I was always the one who _hated_ running back in school and was really bad at it. Because I have no money to buy membership to gym and I want to start exercising again running is the cheapest option I have.
And actually now when I've done it a few times it does not feel so bad! Who would have guessed that when you get the speed right you can keep running on and on.. I usually run 4-5 km and it feels good.
Next thing I want to change in my life is money situation. But the boy is going to job interview tomorrow so let's keep fingers crossed..
Then the thesis. I. Am. Going. To. Do. It.

That's all Folks!
