The 13 best (in my opinion) photos from this session are published on flickr.

All (about 60) selected and processed pictures are here.

A bridge over fast water, originally uploaded by KaraNagai.

This is made on the way back from our photo-trip to Donegal this May. It is a bridge over river Erne in Belturbet, Co. Cavan.

I love that kind of processing.

Here are two more sets with portraits of my friends from the same trip: one and two.

Some call it maple, originally uploaded by KaraNagai.

… you know the song

In fact, of course this is a shadow of maple leaves, yes.

About five years ago I had planted a little Japanese maple with red leaves in the corner of my back garden not expecting any surprises. Few months later a little branch from the very bottom of the 50cm high tree started to grow fast above the rest of the tree. This branch carried green leaves! I guess Irish soil affected the plant in that way

Anyway, now the “Japanese” part of the maple is still under a meter high, spreading its branches horisontally. The “Irish” part grew at least 2.5 meters high and overlooks the estate above the garden walls.

Ksu smiling by the river, Glendalough, originally uploaded by KaraNagai.

Ksu aka Oksana is a photographer herself, so she spends most of the time on the side of the viewfinder, rather than in front of the lense. This time we decided to change it.

It was my first big photo session without other photographers involved and I equally enjoyed both the work and the result. It took place in Glendalough valley.

Here are the rest of the selected photographs.

Ready to fight, originally uploaded by KaraNagai.

That photo-party again. Alex was a pirate. Quite an authentic one in fact

Here is the rest of pictures with him.

The weapon of the proletariat, originally uploaded by KaraNagai.

This is also from that photo-party. Vova was playing a plumber.

Here is the rest of pictures with hime.

The meaning of modesty, originally uploaded by KaraNagai.

This is made during a photo-party, when the “models” (actually all guests) were randomly assigned to photographers and the roles were randomly assigned to models. I did three models. This one was initially a magician, but transformed during the session.

Here is the rest of the shots with Lena.

Near Glendalough Monastery site, originally uploaded by KaraNagai.

This picture is made last year, but I remember one summer in 2000 we’ve been there with a guided tour and met two boys who were fishing for coins thrown in this cold little river near the bridge by tourists. The boys claimed they “earn” about 50 irish pounds (about 65 euro) a day by that.

A cross on the graveyard, Glendalough Monastery site, originally uploaded by KaraNagai.

A piece of this 1878 cross is missing for some reason.

Boatwreck, Yellow submarine, Tenerife, originally uploaded by KaraNagai.

One more shot from Tenerife last year. There are couple of boatwrrecks on the sea bottom on the way of the Yellow Submarine.
