What I Love About Photography

I love hunting for beauty.

I love that sweet feeling it brings when I find it eventually.

It’s absolutely worth all the effort.

My heart thumping with excitement, my head spinning with joy.

With the help of my beloved camera (yes, beloved, I’m sorry… but it just happens to be so), I capture that glittery snippet of reality and keep it as a trophy forever.

Sweet, sweet feeling…

I love looking at things from different angles.

I love the different perspective.

There’s a lot of magic to be found when you shift your point of view slightly.

I love closer looks.

To watch the nature’s heartbeat from afar – not disturbing it, yet still being able to caputre its intimacy – is very precious to me.

Oh… and there are a lot more things that I love about  photography… and I will surely share them with you when the time comes…

Until then, enjoy!

Love,

Petra, The Escapist

Baby Orangutan

Last weekend we visited a zoo.

I know, these institutions might not be perceived positively by some, but I assure you that the animals in this zoo receive very good care and loads of love.

And this is where we happened to find the cutest baby in the whole universe… a little baby orangutan.

It is him.

Being one year of age, his main activity throughout the day is to have as much fun as physically possible.

And in his case, that is A LOT…

It took him about half a second to get from the above position…

… to this.

Then a very special dramatic gesture ensued…

… followed immediately by rolling over and grabbing a piece of a nutshell (because nutshells are just so much fun!).

And of course, striking the cutest pose imaginable was a must.

You’ve won my heart baby orangutan.

If you had a Twitter account, I’d follow you right away.

Nevertheless, I have this strange feeling I’ll see you again very, very soon…
