Working from home - a reality !

Hi again !
Today i made my first sale over the Internet. it is a big day for me.
it actually means i am on the way to cracking the secrets for living the life i always wanted for myself. it means i could work from anywhere really. all it takes is an Internet connection.
i could live in Spain, Iceland, New Zealand, Switzerland... anywhere !
Just like everybody else, i was sceptic before i started. there are many scams around and it just sounds to good to be true (and possible).
i have been learning the subject for about a month now but i only started a week ago, only one week. it is easy ! it takes some nerves and some thinking, but anyone can do it.
if anyone wants to hear more about it, please feel free to write me to my Email, i would love to share what i've learned. GuySadan@yahoo.com.au

Mile stones of my photography - part 2

Hi everyone,
this time, the photo i chose to share with you has a disturbing graphic content and this is why i've put the grey circle over it.
if you want to see the original, use the following link:

This photo was taken back in 2006 while taking a horse breeding course. as part of the course we traveled to different establishments over the weekends and discussed different aspects of breeding, treatments etc. on this specific ocasion we visited a military establishment and were going through a session with the base veterinarian. this horse was stepped on accidently by another horse while practicing some jumping excercises. he was wounded by the horse shoe and was brought over to where we were at, for the veterinarian for treatment.
I took several photos and only when i got home and had time to look at them on the big screen, i realized what actually happened there that morning.
It is hard for me to put in words why i like this photo, it is dynamic with the water gushing from the hose, it is disturbing with the blood flowing from an open wound, impacting, the kind of photo that makes you look at it even though transmitting something unpleasent.

See you soon with some more mile stones, no more of this kind, promise !
Guy.

photography and trees

Hi everyone,
just a short post with some updates.
my photos did not get to the podium in the MINISPACE competition this time and i want to thank all of you that took a minute to enter and vote for them.
atmosphere was amazing, artists complimenting one another and some real inspiring work. results should be published soon, so keep an eye, it should be interesting.
also, i was amazed of the exposure my blog got during the competiotion. i suddenly had visits from Egypt, Italy, Bulgaria, Greece, Germnay just to name a few. overwhelming. over 250 visits yesterday alone !

now that the competition is over, i came across a portfolio that attrected my attention and i want to share it with you. Felix Finkbeiner, 11 years old from Germany is teaching us all a lesson for a better future. read more here: http://www.minispace.com/en_us/article/pow-felix-finkbeiner/274/

and finally, the 2nd. part of the milestones series is coming up soon, so check out on me again soon.

Mile stones of my photography - part 1

Hi everyone,
life has been pretty hectic lately. i have been away for the week and busy with a photography competition to which i would like to invite you all. there is some awesome work and you can vote for your favs.
http://www.minispace.com/en_us/background/invite/vote/?user_id=60210&fbsharer=1&zuffi=1252676161
there are 5 days left and the heat is on ! check it out.

now, i want to tell you the story behind this photo i decided to post today.
it goes like this; year is 2005, a provincial Argentinian bus terminal, a complete stranger. light is just right, reflected from the floor, iluminating her from below, background is darker, helping my subject stand out nicely. with the broken Spanish i spoke back then, i ask her permission. she blushes and agrees, none of us has been to such a strange situation before, i can tell by my heart beat. even though nervous, i manage to take some excellent shots of her and later we sit and talk for a while. a few weeks later we meet again and then again and again... then she moves in... we ended up together for nearly four and a half years. true story.
see you soon with the next part of my mile stones,
Guy.
