About No PP, part of art exhibit presented in Athens during the Olympic Games.A more realistic approach is my previous photo. Devoted to Blue addicts.

Anti-long-shutter therapy

Then I decided to go to a Photologist, meaning a doctor who deals with photographers. He is an expert concerning experimental tendencies. Usually he prescribes anti-experimental medicine and initiates an anti-long-shutter therapy to help photographers who can?t let anything untouched, but this time things were different. I haven?t been there since my image Secret Acropolis, in which I distorted The Acropolis of Athens. He considered it provoking and the government paid his fees to honor his contribution to society. I showed him Fire and Ice, a realistic image, then the cropped still realistic one and then this experimental aspect. He remained silent; I first thought he was thinking that my case could cause him to enter the Stock Market or earn government funds. I was wrong, after a while he stopped being petrified and was just transformed into a lamp, a small blue lamp. I could not understand what kind of therapy this was. The last words I heard from him were: ?Sometimes everything returns where they all came from, easily and without effort they return to nowhere?. I looked around, none was seeing me, apart from some red and green lamps there were no other objects in the room, I took the blue lamp and placed it in my BLBB (Borderless Little Blue Box, the place where I keep my memories ), I went on to leave the room. By the time I got out of the building I had been transformed into a swan, I have always wanted to be transformed into a swan.

Story inspired just now and devoted to all my friends here

How to come back? Never forget what happened to unicorns...in my mind's eyes there are still people who are unicorns deep inside, unicorns represent innocence as you know, but people who are not unicorns themselves cannot recognize them....I use symbolism. Thank you my lord!

You shouldn't be going to the doctor if your disease does not have any adverse effects :-)

thank you Michael, with slow shutter (7 secs) and a wide apperture I moved slowly round the pyramid of light part of which you see in my previous image under the same title. A long exposure shot with personal movement is the way the image was shot.

Impressive. Not sure how this was accomplished, but the results are amazing - really like the swooping arc and the overall composition.

This would look best at a large scale.
