I am now working hard on a little e-store where you can obtain the secret immediately without having to wait. (my head is like a balloon from all the linking and scripting … LOL)
till next time

okay … it’s been busy few hours … with such a wonderful feedback and interest … many many thanks
After the many lovely comments received I have decided to give the Secret Ticket a bit of a different face .. that’s why it took so long for me to let you know the details.
Anyway with the tickets being sent out at the moment I will now let you know more.
For those who took time to checkout the bohemiansecret website and still are not sure about having the Secret revealed or simply can’t afford it. each one of the Secret Tickets will give you a generous discount to purchase The Secret ..
The idea came after reading so many times about google ranking and placing websites in google search. I thought this way would be a nice way how to get a bit more traffic to the sites of other photographers .. and help on their way of being placed on google … as well as I want to keep my promise and keep the Secret affordable
while sharing the great work of others.
So here are first four ticket holders … visit their blog in chance to receive the Secret Ticket .. and with it access to all I do when creating a B&W image …

so if you are ready to purchase the secret … go and look for The Secret Post on their blog … make sure you comment there and leave a note mentioning The Secret for your chance to receive the Ticket ….
have fun blogging and if you have any questions in regards to The Secret .. do not hesitate to contact me …
love

I will immediately send special instruction to your email address on how to obtain the Secret …( including information on The Secret Ticket ..)
For others I have only one thing to say .. Patience and love will definitely pay back .. If you have decided to purchase The Secret .. make sure you look for the Secret Ticket in the next few hours. By the comments here you will know who is the lucky holder .. check out their blog and comment on the Secret post mentioning the word Secret to take a chance to get a hold of the ticket …. or if you can’t wait .. just make the choice and have The Secret Revealed …. (just remember the Secret ticket is not for those just wondering what’s behind you need to be ready to have the secret revealed)
EtA: The Secret Ticket will be available only to those with blog (thank you)
Special Thanks to Clair Bremner Photography Rosie Haberl at In The Moment Photography and LK at The Colour In You Photography for letting me use their image …
And Thank you everyone else for the wonderful inspiration …
love s
p.s. since the first people who decided to have the secret revealed do not have a blog. I have decided to give a chance to another two of you, who own blog and will purchase the secret … just leave a comment on the very first post of my blog Master N (our newest family member) just mention the word Secret
and I will get back to you with details …
yes … and I am so happy to write this post ….
stay tuned … watch out .. only few days left … (just brushing it up a lil and filling with love)

Thank you everyone who stopped by and left a comment or send me a private message or email .. I got overwhelmed with your heartful response and still have lots of emails and messages to answer.
Thank you Rosie for sharing your SOOC image with me. I feel very honored and happy to be able to use it. … by the time I woke up I found many offers in my mailbox. To be fair I have opened only the first one.
I am now quite close to finish my Secret and get to share what’s “in the box”.
I have decided though that I would not mind using another one or two sooc images by other photographers so here is a second chance for you who were one just a minute too late …
The image(s) I am looking for need to be filled with Love .. preferably not just a close up head shot …
First two people who send the link via the contact form will in exchange gain access to my “secret”.
I will get back to you via email with the details.
And here are few shots of my Inspiration …

this is my great grand father … a very talented musician who had to go and fight in WWII .. he never returned but left a great gift to me … my lovely grandmother:

I have always loved this image …. even as a little girl .. each time coming to my grandparents house I would beg my nanna to open the album and tell me all about it ….
The thing about photography in the past that I have realized is that most of the time they used low f-stop so people usually had to stop and just for the one moment in their being BE what they are for the one who photographed them …
These days we have cameras that freeze a moment faster than a second some cameras shoot even several frames per second .. this brings a whole new dimension to the way we capture our subjects …
anyway … here I will stop and get back to being mum for today …. waiting for your reply
love

or maybe not … just things one learns as one goes …
I have been asked many times … HOW .. how do I do it? How do I achieve my black and whites …
and I have always said …. well I don’t know it just happens …
I took a time to think … I took a time to create ..
I thought about how to share the secret …
1. just FEEL … and trust your feelings …
2. don’t be afraid ![]()
3. dodge and burn as much as you feel and are not afraid … but keep in mind to preserve the detail …
4. yes the detail … is very important … but more and again … the Feel …
I have been quiet for the last few weeks .. trying to create tools for those who would like to explore .. who would like to travel times and explore space of Fine Art black and white …
I am still working on the details of getting the result out there …. but mean time … First photographer who is willing to share their SOOC image that he/she feels would be great in B&W with me .. will be the first to experience The Bohemian’s Secret … just send me a link to your image using the contact form on this blog .. and in the next few days I will get back to you with the details …
