Hey everyone,

I just logged in to my account and found a handful of messages sitting in my inbox about requesting permission to use my photos for various artworks. Please note, I don't at all mind contributing to your artwork and would be happy to provide the high res image, in case you ask. Please send your requests directly via my website: www.idapap.com 

Cheers, 
Ida

Hey all you digital friends out there!

How's everyone's art going?
Please drop me a link of your latest best shots, I seem to have lost track of your new posts since my inbox is completely cluttered with thousands of deviations from last year.

I haven't been too active here for a while since my RL activities are taking nearly all of my energy, but all things considered I guess I can't complain. Having had some fun and unexpected success with facilitating photography workshops last year I decided to focus more on this side of photography and carry on with teaching & inspiring people.

I also set up a new FB page with a London-related content (not the usual landscape photography I do) but a bit more random and perhaps documentary style, 100% dedicated to URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY www.facebook.com/UrbanPhotogra…

Please check this out and give it a like if you can as it looks rather lonely with only a few people following my posts. The main reason to follow this page is that I won't be posting these snapshots on dA, I would like to keep the two things separately. Please also drop me a link if you have any recommendations on similar pages or blogs (urbex, street art, anything quirky?) I would be happy to share them on this page.

Last but not least, let me know if you're in London; my next Urban Photography Workshop is Saturday, 11 MAY www.ideoda.com/workshop (there are still a few places remaining) and hopefully some more to come later this year!

hugs :cuddle:

For Cauldfield

4 min read
Every photographer has a story to tell.. I've never felt mine worth sharing though but the time has come to introduce a valuable person.

My long cherished wish has fulfilled in 2008 when I bought my first digital camera. Having had no interest in courses I decided to go for a private teacher so I simply googled the keywords: photography teacher Budapest.

I got a website with a man looking really passionate about teaching. I rang the number and arranged appointment for that weekend: 27th January, 2008. We met under the "clock" at the Moscow Square (Moszkva ter) our way followed to a common tripping place called Norma tree – not the most enchanting destination during the freezing winter still I managed to learn the basic rules of composition and had a great time. I felt like being with a friend rather than a stranger and we talked like knowing each other for many years. New sessions booked with Balazs Farkas-Szoke.

He was not only an experienced photographer but a truely artistic spirit: a musician and poet, a bright guy with a laid-back attitude and a peculiar sense of humour..  he was the teacher I needed.

Over six months passed and the weather gradually turned mild. Weekly sessions with long hours of walking and laughing, photo trips to local sights and cemeteries, arboratories, industrial places, abandoned gasworks and a visit to Vienna. Getting home we remained chatting in the car until the morning unaware of the time. I've not only learnt the tricks of digital photography but also learnt something about life.. from a man who once beat the cancer and wholeheartedly embraced his present and what he had.. his passion for teaching, his wife and newly born daughter.

I moved abroad in September and the lack of communication caused frustration hence a suddenly evolved argument over a petty issue. Pride? Wrath? What is friendship? Two years down the line and I learnt the lesson again.. this time for the last time.

Rest in Piece Balazs, you will always stay in the VIP section of my heart. Your words are echoing in my head and I clearly remember every minute we spent like it was an hour ago. This picture goes out to you and I hope you are enjoying the view from above as much as you enjoyed it below.



Cauldfield (1974) has passed away at the age of 36 on 28 July, 2011 leaving his wife, two daughters (2, 4 ys) and hundreds of students behind. We will all miss you but from all your students I will miss you the most.

What do you have on your favourites?

Before you read any further I have to clarify the question has nothing at all to do with dA!  

It's when you surf the Internet and stumble upon an interesting website|blog or article you want to get back to later so you bookmark it. And when you have so many favourite links as bookmarks you possibly arrange them in folders.. what are your folders?

I've built up a collection of articles and blogs over the years and thinking about what would others choice be like almost feels like peeking into a stranger's wardrobe.. it might look a total mess at first sight, but you have to have a closer look at the individual items to realize that the person has actually a good taste. So what are your favourite items?

Some random ones of my folders..
www.tineye.com a reverse image search engine – fun, but not much use
www.parkcameras.com/Article/27… if you ever wondered what's your len's abbreviation stands for here you'll find it explained
www.oneeyeland.com/gallery.php… I found this website some days ago full of conceptual masterpieces, a good source of inspiration
uk.news.yahoo.com/website-day-… an article about ScanMe a personal barcode making website, wtf?

It's your turn now! :eager:

It's been a while since I've given any consideration to dA but I haven't disappeared completely!
dA has changed a lot in the last 1,5 year and visiting the site doesn't feel the same anymore..

I'm not here to complain though it is still the melting pot of some great artists|photographers and I believe this is the only reason we keep returning here..   So what else have we been up to lately? artlimitedfotoblurbluecanvasflickrfacebookshadowness? Does anyone have opinion on visiting other sites?

I feel like I'm on too many sites and, as a consequence I'm not actually anywhere.. I also feel like I lost the connection with some of my dA fellows due to my inactivity but the only one to blame here is me :grump:

Is anyone – out of my 960 watchers - reading this?!
Just wanted to thank to all the friends below still keeping an eye on my progress..
