Here are the best photos from yesterday's class:Aleksandra (you have to give me your last name)ISO 400, 1/640, f.2,8.Great shot, although I would like the subject to be positioned a bit to the right, in the empty place on the wall. Overall, good use of composition, and well done posing.ISO 400, 1/800, f.2.8Nice moment, I like that the subject is smiling and good use of the surroundings and the

Photographer Ashley Gilbertson and reporter Campbell Robertson talk about their views of Iraq in a video produced by a great journalist and my friend Stephen Farrel at the Baghdad Bureau. The video contains many of my photos, as well as others from great photojournalists I had pleasure to work with in Iraq. Enjoy!

So, after “regrouping” from my Iraq assignment, my Vertigo paragliding buddies sat me down and convinced me to stick around for few more weeks and participate in the annual PAMPUR yacht race in the Adriatic Sea in Croatia. A race organized sole from Macedonians. “We don’t even have a sea” my notion was. “- No worries, we did it last year and almost sunk the damn boat!” That was good enough for

The last few days we've been pummeled by sand and then some more sand. Tomorrow I'm scheduled to depart out of here, but if the storm does not let up, I'm looking into at least two more days of this. Here's Baghdad this afternoon. Photos made some 2 hours ago.Yesterday we photographed the funeral of a leader of Awakening Council in Western Baghdad. It was very tense situation, there was a lot of

Last year in Iraq, I spent most of my embeds with Stephen Farrell, NYT Baghdad correspondent. Terrific Irish 'bloke'. When on a story he never stops, and before he finishes it, he is already thinking about the next one. This are his ten commandments he stick to, religiously:1. Thou shalt worship no other gods before me, especially the gods of Features and Opinion. Which are lesser deities. 2.

We visited Sadr City few times, saw the Friday prayer and Sadrsists signing in blood a pledge to Shiite saint, after a call from radical cleric Moktada al-Sadr. Just to give you a general idea how it loosk like I shot a little video from the few times we were there.

50.000 people packed the stadium in Bagdad, a match between Kurdistan and Baghdad teams, 1:0. Last time this many people gathered on a football match in Baghdad was 1990. Here are the photos that did not make the today's story, I quite like them :)this is the view from outside the stands, it was near the end of the match, overtime was played and people were already leaving the stadium.The upper

6 dead and 10 wounded was the lethal score in this attack We usually hear about bombings pretty quick. The initial information are always sketchy. One or two dead, seems nothing "serious" to cover. When the number of casualties comes to about above 5, it gets our attention. Don't get me wrong. The number of casualties equals the exposure we want to have outside. Less we are out there, less the

Besides all the danger of being recognized as a foreigner and thus kidnapped or shot, there is no point of taking photos in the middle of the day! The lights is very strong and harsh, burning the highlights and totally darkening the

Hi all,after 7 hours wait in Istanbul, the sand storm in Iraq that prevented the plane from taking off, mellowed down and 2.30 hours later I landed in Baghdad on Friday. Things have changed immensely from last year! The safety has been improved and we can work outside more. There are lot more check points and lot more traffic, but we are not stuck inside as before. The mild dust storm is on and

Iraq date is set, I leave on the 4th of Aug to Istanbul and on the 7th, all being well, I'll be in Baghdad, sweating my balls off! Tomorrow, I leave for another week of paragliding in Krushevo. Unprecedented consistency of good weather here promises lotta air time, and the 130 registered pilots for the Nordic Open Competition is a sure sign of interesting race and fantastic time.

Hello all. It was 10 days of pure pleasure and chill time! Flying, partying, chilling and exploring new places. Here are few photos of a village I visited at Ohrid Lake. The name is Radozda (you'll never be able to pronounce it) I have plenty of video material, but It will take me some time to come up with a good video. In mean time, enjoy this shots. Cheers all!

My first photos with the Nikon D3, Easter in Krushevo, Macedonia, 10 days ago. Very, very low light, camera set on iso 2000 and up. Amazing first results.

I have so many new toys, its hard to keep up with it. Like my new HD camera! It took me a while to learn how to use it, and with a generous help from my brother (who is a pro filmmaker) I edited this video of a training session of our paragliding club last weekend. I know it has few mistakes, but as everything in life, editing needs to be learned further. Enjoy.(click on the video to open in

Here are few samples from my brand new shinny Nikon D3, with the brand new shinny TS Ukranian made lens attached to it. Although, there was not too much flying, it was a great weekend spent among friends with some great light, mountain views, 14th century monastery, cute high altitude town with a pop-star hero grave..
