I have recently revived my urge to take and show the kind of images that I really like myself, rather than trying to guess what photos will be popular and showing those. Of course, I hope that my readers and viewers will like the photos I like. Above all I like to take photos of…
It may not seem like much, but this photo was something of a life-changer for me and there is a story behind it which I will tell you here. The story behind the photo Actually the full story behind this photo and the sequence of events that followed are part of the introduction to Reflections…

Let me make one thing perfectly clear before I tell you the story behind this photo. I am not in any way a wildlife photographer (unless you classify people as wildlife).

As an experiment I’m going to take a photo (or set of photos) and tell you the story behind it/them. I hope you will find it interesting. Let me know (either way). I call this one the Raspberry-Colored Floating Chairs in St. Mark’s Square. There is a story to this photo for sure. The story…
