Finding Inspiration (Part 3)     posted on 7th of september, 2007

Yes, I'm also getting into the habit of article series... But don't worry, this is the last one of this series. So, push the attention button and read on!

Books are inspirational! Even when they're on photography... Or better said - especially when they're on photography! :)

In first grade I had a very loving and caring old man as my class teacher.

Yes, there is such a place. And, yes - there are people out there... not... zombies, beasts, or some other sort of freaky creatures. :) But you knew that already, right? :P

Ok, now, why am I writing this? Or maybe you are bored of the whole patience talk? Lemme guess - you want your images reviewed, and you want it now... So why am I now reviewing, but waisting time writing articles? Hm... well, because I think it will help you. :) Take this brief article as a piece of advice coming out of experience... and a lot of reflection upon that experience.

It didn't take long before I figured that people like getting to know about the editors... what their days are like, what they like shooting, what they ate for lunch on Tuesday last week... :D And the blogs are a perfect...

subtle way of asking for a bribe, isn't it ? :P - posted by Sid on June 05, 2009
Thanks for the informative article. It is helpful to know all these things and I think you all do a great job, it must be quite trying at times. I have difficulty making decision of what to upload, but found that if I take the time to check categories before uploading that I have a better chance of hitting the mark. Thanks again. - posted by Freedomphotos on June 04, 2009

    About Me
Petar Neychev (Petarneychev)

I'm a self-taught freelancer who started by photographing boring stuff on white... so much that I actually learned something from it. I now find myself facing the challenge of photographing people in a fresh and realistic way. I believe that every natural expression is worth photographing.

Since April 2007 I'm a member of Dreamstime's remote image editors team.
