Koi - An Invitation

There are times as a photographer, when you feel empty; no creative idea, and no inspiration - the mind gives up... in those circumstances you can do various things... go to a new place, museum, talk to friends or people on the street, ... or... you are invited to visit 1x.com, similar to when you visit a new museum and don’t know what you will find.

The idea came when I thought about a new magazine topic to write and check whether that topic had sufficient images in the 1x database. I recently got a new koi fish and suddenly thought, what do I get when I type 'koi' as the keyword? It surprised me... not at all just fish, in fact almost none… because the search engine also selects images if the photographers name contains this combination of characters.

Let me now share the ‘Koi’ selection… after that I tried ‘Fish’ … an overwhelming number of beauties were found… so, you will see a few of those too…

So, if you ever are in need of inspiration, visit 1x.com and just type some short words or random characters as search keyword, not too many maximum three… if it doesn't bring ideas, it will surely give you viewing pleasure.
