Smoking stork nest

Smoking stork nest

04 May 2009

I got so sad looking at the two confused and desperate storks at the top of the smoking chimney stack next to the Sangaste Castle. A year ago I saw a thick nest at the same place. I kept thinking whether they will find a new place for a nest or whether it is already too late and they are doomed for this year. It was just a heart-breaking sight.

I was rushing out when I noticed this view in the reflection of my bathroom window; I quickly grabbed my camera to catch something before the speeding sun was hidden by the clouds on the horizon.

The images are consequences of my photomontage experimenting. I can not call them results as that would mean I knew what I was doing :)

A prayer, 2004

A prayer

14 Feb 2009

The story of this image began in 2001, when I took a photo of myself in such a repressed position. That time I had a film camera Zenit E where I could not check the exposure and aperture right after taking photo so had to hope and actually pray the photo would turn out ok.
