This may not be the best photo I have shot this month, but it surely does express how I feel right now. Yesterday I left Girona, the city that has been my home for the last four years. I left some people that I truly love and consider my family. I am back in Poland to start something new over something old. I am sad because of the departure but also filled with hope of the things ahead. This

I had an opportunity this month to do some live photo shootings. One of those were the first gig of soul group The Basement from Girona. I'm not a soul fan myself, but their music is really energetic and great to listen to live. Here's one photo I made during this event. Carrer de la Força, Girona, May 2010

I couldn't sleep last night so at 7 A.M. I decided to wander a little bit with the camera. And it's been a while since I've taken some serious photos. Carrer de la Força, Girona, May 2010 I will be preparing a new series of photographs entitled "Breaking Beauty" this month. I will keep you informed on the project.

I made some photos last month, but not enough... And not good enough. I made a video, thought, and I quite like it, so here it goes. I know that the vast majority of -few- people that checks out this blog has already seen this video. You can watch it again.

I had a different image to show you. More optimistic. But in the light of what happened yesterday, I just couldn't. And since there is no words that could describe what I feel right now, here's the picture... Girona, February 2010

Since I was so lazy -not true- last few months, I thought I can let my self publish one more photo from my morning ramble with the camera. In fact, this was the first photo I wanted to show you. It made me think about some other aspect of my pictures. I think I am rediscovering not only the spaces I know and photography itself, but myself as well; not only as a photographer (if I can use that

I have to admit I am having a serious crisis - personally and photographically speaking. As the personal one is not of your interest non of your business, I will speak about the photographic one. I spent last two months penetrating my head in search of ideas for a photographic enterprise; a project, a reportage, an experiment... anything that would make me get up of the bed and start to work on

You know how I said a few times that I hadn't made any photo in the past month? Well, last month was different... I didn't make any. Due to personal limitations I am not going to bore you with, I just couldn't.Nevertheless, I had some time to do a project I had in mind for a long time and decided to finally finish it. As you can see, it is a short film dedicated to ballet. My intention was to

I would like to wish all the best to everyone who reads my blog. May 2010 be a year with no red lights ahead. Happy New Year! Poznań, January 2010 Also, I would like to know what you think of my photos from the past year. That is why I made a survey I would appreciate you dedicate one minute to. You can find it above. Thank you.

I have always thought that self-portrait is one of the most difficult art expressions to create. Nevertheless, here is one of mines. I made it a week ago, when we were shooting a promotional video with some friends of mine; I just thought I would try to do something with the light we set. I do not know as much as I would like to about self-portrait nor portrait itself really. But I do think that

Another month of journeys. This time with Majorca as a destination. I has been three years since I had been there last time - and the first time, as a matter of fact. And it was a trip full of memories and deeper thoughts for me. There are some places you see once and when you see them again, you feel like they aren't as you remembered them; that something is different; that you don't feel the

It has been a really long time since I've done some journalistic photographs. Last month I had an opportunity to work on the kind of photography I put beyond the others: a documentary one. I met a homeless man. He lives on the streets because he is convinced to do so. A "revolutionist" - as he says - that chose this form of life, although his family didn't have to recur to it. He is an anarchist

This is a special post. I decided to give up on the newsletter on my website and send one message every month about the new entry on this blog which will contain information about news from the website. So here it goes... Zakopane, Poland, August 2009 Last week I was to Zakopane, the capital of Polish Tatra Mountains. It has been a really long time since I had been there. I talked before about

Photography is omnipresent. It looks at us from every sidewalk, it hides behind every corner, it lurks from every newspaper... It attracts, it judges and it inquiets us. And it makes us lose our faith in it. It's like the air that we know of but we don't care about it. It's like God... Girona, 2nd July 2009

I really don't like to repeat myself, but I haven't got a lot of time this month as well. Nevertheless, I got the photo. Inauguration of sculpture exposition "Òxid" of Tomàs Josep PonsValvi Fundation, Girona, 4th July 2009 I have spent a lot of time watching work of Cartier-Bresson and Kertész, and a lot of time trying to capture some unique moment in time like they did.

I come a little late this time and that's because I had to deal with some things I piled over the last months that need to be solved; as you can see, I haven't finished solving them yet. Therefore, I haven't really taken a lot of photographs; in fact, only two of them in my own free time. Nevertheless, I had a chance to cover some cultural events. One of them was festival of dance that took place

April has been a month of journeys for me. Journeys of exploring new places. Journeys of rediscovering the old ones. And journeys of returns. All the time I was trying to center on practicing - so called - travel photography and was wandering about the real meaning of it: which is the difference between a photograph you take in the place you have never seen and the one you see every day? Is it a

Let's imagine two rooms with a door that connects them. In the first one there's all that we can call the reality: people, objects, emotions, ideas, etc. The second one is empty, dark, there's only us inside. The door is ajar, filtering the light and the shadows, drawing them on our walls to give us an idea of what is happening on the other side. This door is called photography. This vision, "
