FOTOGRAFY FORK

Basics of Forking Fotografer
Our fotografic fork is of many tines.

City & its streets, countryside & its roads, architecture & its details, people & [ their ]
nature, four legged companions & their Zoo brothers +++

The sunny side of being a forking fotografer: we never get bored. The cloudy side: they say, we are hard to identify with a particular photographic genre.

Travel bugs
We love to travel, no matter where to. We enjoy both the city and the nature.

When we’re 64
By then we might trade our fork for a chopstick.

Total smartness


"Intense focusing on a task can make people effectively blind, even to stimuli that normally attract attention.
The most dramatic demonstration was offered by Christopher Chabris  and Daniel Simons  in their book The Invisible Gorilla",
writes Daniel Kahneman, 2002 Nobel Prize laureate, in his “THINKING, FAST AND SLOW” bestseller.

Actuality, rightfulness of this decade old observation, rewarded by Ig Nobel Prize  in 2004, was recently reaffirmed in San Francisco reality “show” :
Rail commuters on phones didn’t notice gun before deadly shooting

Smartphones become smarter. Do we ?

In Sun We Trust


Never seems to end Summer finally croaked dragging squinting and sweating with it.

Dumb ACs, throw open shutters, deserted beaches support the fact,
offering a long awaited break.

No doubt, summer'll be back. Which's likely be April in our corner.

In Sun We Trust, don't we?

Well, let's give it a warm farewell in this photo retrospective.

Summertime

Summertime
and a livin's easy...


Do
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong really mean it, or their summer differs from ours?

We submit ourselves to its mandatory visitations from April till mid-October.

What  our summer has to offer is high 90's with almost 100% humidity.
And a living is easy...
When sun is high and shadows are short & harsh,
At the Mall, Washington DC
when windows sweat just by looking at those outside,
Art Center, Savannah GA
when there is no breeze from anywhere, even hot one from Inferno,
Market Street, Savannah GA
then getting your feet cold is as good as
keeping your head cool.

Аll-consuming obsession: how to put shades on the Sun?
King Street, Charleston SC
As our momentary being starts determining our consciousness:
wine cellars as shelters start making sense,
Mills Fine Wine & Spirits, 87 Main Street, Annapolis MD
exchange your warm beer for a cold one,
Charleston's Craft Beer Store, 14 Exchange St. Charleston SC
select least of possible Coke-evils, water, for instance
Luna Park, Coney Island, Brooklyn NY
hallucinate Belgium Gelato.

In execution of heat-defense strategy, individual styles prevail:

In Central Park, NYC

P.S. You are free to choose a summer slogan.
For instance, "Don't wear a tired, thirsty face!" ( Coca-Cola 1933
or "Bottled water is for wimps!" ( Matt Rinard ). Whatever works...
