19/08/1839 - 170 years of history

19/08/1839 - special day - Jacque Daguerre’s new photographic process was demonstrated to the French Academy of Sciences.
It is 170 year of history. New processes, new equipment, everything changes. I am thinking about Daguerre and Talbot and other early photographers- does they know how photography will change during this 170 years? How easy and quick are now all processes, developing, printing? They spend many years to explore and discover photography, now it is so easy, so popular...

Bristol International Balloon Fiesta 2009

It was really really nice trip. I've never seen before so many beautiful hot air balloons, so many colours and shapes. I can't find the words to describe how beautiful was this show. Next year I am planing all weekend visit and definatelly don't miss any hour of Balloon Fiesta shows. I had chance to try my new camera and new lenses and results are good. Close up shots of baloons, people, sky etc. few of them already uploaded to flickr.

Unfortunately queue to the Banksy Exhibition was so long that waiting over 3-4 hours was just nonsense, will go there probably next week.

I spend really nice day with friends talking about next academic year, challenges waiting for us, major projects, ideas for future, plans. And it helps me to see my life from different angle again!

Failure

There are situations in life which give me lesson of humillity. I took a part in this year Cardiff Photomarathon. It was really amazing day full of fun, adventures and new friendships.
Now, I see set of pictures, in wrong order, partially overexposed/underexposed and I don't think it was my fault. I've checked camera before use, batteries was checked as well, so maybe Photomarathon team damaged my film during developing? I was sure that I will get set of really good and funny images, but results are poor... Shame... Here >>> 160 <<<>>>Bartek Nowicki 340<<<). His film was ok, but I think they mixed his images, so order is wrong as well.
It sad, anyway I get lesson and again learned something new.

The Big Event 2: Closing Party

My first exhibition ending soon - Closing night will take place 25th July @ NosDa Hostel, it was big succes and hostel's owners want to extend it, so probably all artworks will stay there for longer. So you can still see my work.





Fair Play Festival 2009 - Exhibition 2

I am almost ready for my second small exhibition @ Fair Play Festival 2009. This time I will show 4 images - all of them from the same series of portraits. Images will be much larger in size and probably will be shown to bigger audience, but just for 3 days, much shorter than first exhibition.
