When I looked out of the kitchen window while preparing the Easter ham, I saw it was snowing. It would be a huge exaggeration to say that I was more than moderately surprised. It was only last week I wrote Leah that in Hungary March is ultra-crazy: bright sunshine in the morning, heavy rain or [...]
Although I’ve been being an uncle for several weeks, I did not have the opportunity to go to Eger to visit my sister. Last weekend we payed her a short visit with Mum.
We had quite enough of the photo course. We were able to learn a lot, and the teachers were fairly good professional photographers. Their course-keeping skills, however, got worse and worse each weekend. There was a small group of students, spoiled bullies who always felt themselves above the tasks given by the teacher. They always [...]
Very little room (and time) for creativity, and a lot of useful bits of information — that was the balance of today’s photo course.
This day was about the light modifiers — reflectors, grids, umbreallas, softboxes and dishes. We had to make photos on the entire scene, and two closer ones on the models to be [...]
Balu is one of my best and oldest friends. I know him since the September of 1996, when we were freshmen at the university. We, first years, spent far too much of our free time sitting in the public computer rooms exploring the Internet, which was absolutely new to us. I still remember (perhaps because [...]
I agreed to go skating on the afternoon. Of course, I knew that had no ice-skates on my feet in the past ten years or so, but I thought that I will remember enough to survive. I also relied heavily on my excellent skates I got maybe 15 years ago.
Well, I not only forgot how [...]
We had a really excellent New Year’s Eve. Last year after visited Mum, we went home and tried to find out what to do. We ended up watching Friends all night — the same thing we did every other evening.
This time we were much smarter. Unlike last year did not planned to do anything special [...]
Yesterday we spent a really interesting afternoon at Pécs. I reinforced my dubious reputation of making complaints everywhere, too.
Though Kökény is only 7 kms from Pécs, it was much simpler to go by bus. We got on the bus — the driver typed “250″ in the ticket machine, asked for 350 forints, and gave no [...]
For me, Christmas Eve is certainly one of the most important moments of the year. Usually I spend the time with my most loved ones; we have fun together and enjoy each other’s company and think of nothing else. Since both me and V. prefers to spend Chirstmas Eve with our own family, last year [...]
Unlike some men, I really have no problem with shopping. I mean sensible shopping. In case we are shopping for shoes, for example, I am ready to visit every single shoe store. I am ready to wait until my darling tries on the potential models. I am even ready to go back, if we visited [...]
