My grandfather was a photographer and a very quiet man. I didn't know about his vocation until I began to express an interest in photography.</p> <p>When I was 13 years old I inherited an old Kodak instamatic camera from a cousin. For me that very simple camera with its flash cubes was a treasure. I immediately began to take pictures and was amazed with the results. I could not wait to be able to get the best possible equipment.</p> <p>Four years later when I bought my first professional camera in London, I embarked on an adventure that has been expanding ever since. I took more pictures, I bought more equipment, took several courses and worked very hard to improve my skills and acquire a style.</p> <p>In silence my grandfather followed my progress; clearly he enjoyed looking at my pictures and offering constructive criticism. One day, out of the blue, he gave me his beloved camera, an old Zeiss-Ikon. This fabulous camera had not seen the light of day in decades and was full of dust and fungi. I kept it as a relic until I found someone who was able to clean it completely and leave it in perfect shape. I began taking pictures with it. It was a very challenging experience since I had to guess the focus and the exposure. One wonders how those famous photographers of the past managed to make great photographs with relatively simple cameras. But, when I saw my results I understood how their perseverance must have turned to pure joy.</p> <p>Today, taking pictures for me is a way of immortalizing our world, and of documenting our history. I see art in people, places, buildings, landscaping and architecture. I see the juxtaposition of all of those things and I freeze them in moments of time. Photography for me has been a way of learning to see and to appreciate beauty in many strange and exotic places.</p> <p> </p> <p>Perla Copernik</p> <p>For Nature and Wildlife Photography please go to <a href="http://perlacopernik.smugmug.com">perlacopernik.smugmug.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Member of the </p> <p> <br /> <a href="http://www.asmp.org/"><img hspace="10" align="left" border="0" alt="" src="http://slides.sitewelder.com/users/PerlaCopernik2530/images/PerlaCopernik2530132007.jpg" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p><br />  </p> <p><a href="http://www.editorialphoto.com"><img hspace="10" align="left" border="0" alt="" src="http://slides.sitewelder.com/users/PerlaCopernik2530/images/PerlaCopernik2530132017.jpg" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> <a href="http://www.photoshopuser.com/"><img height="120" width="120" alt="" src="/users/PerlaCopernik2530/docs/Image//NAPPlogoweb.jpg" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p> And Charter Member of</p> <p><a href="http://www.savethefrogs.com"><img height="153" width="220" src="/users/PerlaCopernik2530/docs/Image//save-the-frogs-logo-220px.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.panda.org/"><img height="60" width="468" src="/users/PerlaCopernik2530/docs/Image//468_60_banner_species.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">You can also get my images for editorial and commercial purposes at:</span></span></p> <p> </p> <h1><a href="http://www.alamy.com/stock-photography/B8F6CC2A-48B9-46CC-B7FE-8FA433EF8E03/Perla+Copernik.html"> <img alt="" src="http://www.alamy.com/images/Logos/alamy-LM-25.gif" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /> </span></h1> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.absolutestockphoto.com/cpg148/index.php?cat=10215"><br /> </a></p><div> </body>
