Publication: The Big Issue North - once more

No sooner had the first image been published than I was asked for permission to use this one, another from my Tbilisi collection.

Publication: The Big Issue North

One of my Tbilisi photos was picked up for publication in The Big Issue North.  The image appears to have been found in the OCA Flickr group by the college's PR and Communications director.  No remuneration apart from bragging rights.

Shooting at the Steps: Tbilisi

I had about half an hour to kill before the English-speaking guide would be ready for my tour of the national treasures, so I wandered back to the park at Liberty Square, parked myself in front of the steps leading down to a pedestrian underpass, and shot at most everything that went by.  It was an exercise in little more than passing time resulting in 50+ images more to process.  Individually they are not much to look at, so I put them together in the hopes they might be in the composite.  What I discovered that day is that almost no one objects to a camera pointed at them on the street.  One person said, "Why?," in passing, but the only ones who stopped were those who wanted to pose.

Seven Days in Tbilisi

27 March 

Tbilisi was intended as a week of photography.  I believe the idea was to engage in intensive shooting over the course of five or six days to deepen my practice and strengthen stamina and commitment.  I had my idea, made my reservations, but the trip was weeks away and I got involved in other things.

Then, it seems, I was in Tbilisi.
