...yes, right here.
Well taking shots of landscapes and architecture is serious, this is less serious but still photography. And the guy on the photo, that's me. Nice selfportrait, don't you think so?
BTW it took me a considerable amount of shots to get this right. And only a few to capture a dozen of architectural objects. So what's more difficult? Architectural shots or fun and less serious shots like these? I'd say fun shots are the most difficult.

- Aldous Huxley - The Doors of Perception

Aldous Huxley took this title from William Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" the famous English poet and printmaker.
The Doors named theirselves after this title.
