Kate Jordahl: Who are you? Why are you here? Give three reasons why you are taking Photo Five and three fascinating facts about yourself.

Zhanna Zabello: Zabello is my maiden name. I use it for my creative work.

Why am I here? I hear metaphisycal echos in this question. :-) I am here to ask questions. Why don't my pictures come out the way I expect some times? Why do I feel there is something missing in a picture, when others say there is not? How to make a photo cross the line from reality into the realm of subconscious, into the realm of art? How to critique my own work and work of others?

I am here to learn to capture the moment and turn it into poetry.
I am here to learn to make technical modifications to my existing pictures.
I am here to find words to effectively critique photos, my own for starters.

FACTS

These are pictures from my trip to China in August 2008.
