Easter: The Rising of the Eggs. You're kiddin' me again, right?     posted on 29th of january, 2008

Okay, folks, as the last batches of Christmas baubles and trees are being cleared up from the pending line, there come the loads of colored eggs and bunnies in all kinds of places and positions...

As for me - ever since the Christmas kidding I've not stopped thinking about the meaning of "meaning" and twisting thereof. So here it is me again, reflecting upon the issue.

First, the meaning of Easter, or the day in which Christ was risen. Bunnies (whatever their position) and eggs (in spite of their color) are by no means a representation of that. Neither are frogs, ducks or any other animals you've got in the vicinity... so is it also with colorful blooming flowers...

Petar: Just read your blog (sorry it is now well past Easter), but have wondered for some time about the appeal of religious photos. I have noticed what I think is a shortage of such images in the DT database but was unsure if it was a lack of an interested customer base or just a lack of photographer uploads in this area. Now I know, thanks to your blog, and will keep it in mind! Thanks!! - posted by Kcphotos on May 01, 2008

    About Me

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. Whether it will turn out great or not is mostly a matter of angle, light and the passion you have for photography.

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