About Irene
I have been taking pictures for as long as I can remember. Went from fully manual Russian cameras and self-developed film to digital point & shoot (which seemed like a miracle for a while...ha-ha) to DSLR (which seemed like a miracle on steroids) to an iPhone camera, which still seems like the best miracle of all. This is my preferred camera most of the time now, it is always with me, and if it rings occasionally, so what?

I hoped these birds will take off as I were taking the shot, so I could catch them in flight. Nope, no luck. I tried to shoot it again and again…until I lost my patience. Birds – 1, me – 0.

Actually there were no tea involved. Mid-afternoon was simply the time when I took this shot today. I always had a soft spot for funky tea cups and this store was full of them. It took me some serious willpower not to get one of these.

Have some beer, then take the picture, then have some more while running the picture through as many iPhone photo editing apps as possible. Time well spent.
