Rage and Guilt

The loyal companions of Miso. I remember how heavy the burden was that I carried with me. I remember that characteristic “eating me up inside” feeling I felt going through the every day of my life. The guilt. The rage was also present every day, of course, but I did have some time to recover. The rage was and is there while the triggers were/are there. It comes quickly, and spreads all…

Repetition!

One of the key words in this Miso jungle is “REPETITION!” Have you ever tried to pay attention to all of the repetitions that are happening around your Miso? I won’t write about constant eating sounds/movements and breathing sounds. They are the most common triggers but they’re so repetitive and constant that it really doesn’t make any sense to analyze them this way.  Repetitive movements, gesticulations, micro expressions, characteristic ways of saying something……

Just a bit of fly fishing II

Just a bit of fly fishing II

Ok… so… I got almost three hours of free time this Sunday! Omg, the whole three hours! I was so happy for “going somewhere and not doing anything except occasionally snapping some shots and resting my body and soul”… For those who have some free time daily, I so envy you! I  wanted to spend some time with fly fishers. So in addition to Just a bit of fly fishing…

For meat lovers, Venison stew

For meat lovers, Venison stew

M, my husband’s friend was making a venison stew on Sunday in the same place as he was making Vegetables can be for everyone . Of course, before making the stew and after they were fly fishing. M’s wife was helping him prepare ingredients. For the most part they spare me the work because they know I have limited time available, so I usually come when they are over with preparation….

Grand Place, Brussels

Grand Place, Brussels

Just one word: Magnificent! I’ve heard that Grand Place is one of the most beautiful city squares and I expected much, but seeing it and being there is not the same as expecting to see something beautiful. My first Grand Place visit was the first night when I came in Brussels. As I mentioned we were going to eat in Hard Rock Cafe and the cafe is placed there on…

When does a photographer exploit people?

When does a photographer exploit people?

When does a photographer exploit a person in order to get a good photograph? When a photographer snap a street portrait f.e. of a happy person, it seems like no one sees that as an exploiting. When a photographer take a portrait or a scene with an homeless person or person a viewer can tell he/she lives in not so good conditions, then the answer become a bit complicated… At…

Palace of Justice, Brussels

Palace of Justice, Brussels

One of the places I visited in Brussels was the Palace of Justice. It’s a magnificent building and a magnificent architecture. The building wasn’t possible to photograph decently for the short amount of time I had available and with what I had in my hands. For this day shots I was just passing by, trying to go from point A to point B as quickly as possible. The first day…

Hard Rock Cafe, Brussels

Hard Rock Cafe, Brussels

There’s no chance on the Earth that we could find this Hard Rock Cafe if we didn’t have someone who’s already been there and knew where are we going. The reason why we probably wouldn’t notice it was because of the work they’ve been doing on their facade and there was a huge canvas for protection of people passing by, no sign or anything that say “this is Hard Rock…

Brussels… first impressions

Brussels… first impressions

Remember how excited I was about going on a business trip to Brussels? Never mind if you don’t, I remember and what can I say about it is that I’m very sorry for being there for such a short time. 4 days is just not enough! Should I really emphasize that all written here is just my opinion and my impressions of Brussels? Our schedule was very tight, there were…
