First exhibition

My first exhibition ever - nothing really big just two images, but anyway good start to share my work with bigger group of people. I choosen space near window, and near Michal Iwanowski's lightboxes, also near Anna's works. It was best space because it is also stage area. All invited!!! NOS DA - Despencer Street, Riverside, Cardiff

I am planning few other exhibition in nearest future... so watch this space... more info soon...

Bradford Trip 26-27.05.2009

Unforgettable time! Two days full of emotion, beautifull landscapes, places and full of thinking, fun and relaxation . Most fascinating was National Media Museum in Bradford - especially Kodak Gallery in LG floor full of old cameras, negatives, cyanotypes, tintypes, 3D projectors etc. Amazing!! I run from one side to other like a small excited girl and I spend most of my time there!!! Another important and very exciting part of Museum was Don McCullin exhibition - In England - really enjoyed watching it!! Another interesing point of trip was short stop in small city called Hebden Bridge. Beauty spot, small old town in north of england. I love places like this. Small community, all people know each other - it's nice! We spend night in small YHA hostel in Haworth - friendly place, good standart and situated in wonderfull area. I've planned another stay there in the end of summer. Will be nice to go there one more time. It's funny , but I would like to have all this places, all landscapes just for me, don't share it with other poeple, stay there longer, think about what I see, unhurriedly. Delight landscapes, sights, fresh air... all of this just for me... It's just big shame, that something wrong happened to my camera, as all beautifull images which I've taken are not really good, I have to check it and fix it. But what is it? It's sad as I don't have many images from this trip... I have to go there again!!!

'Photography for me is not lookin- it's feeling. If you can't feel what are you looking at, then you are never going to get others to feel anything when they loook at your pictures.' Don McCullin.

Pembroke, Newgale and St Davids - 24.05.2009

Another fascinating trip - this time other part of Wales - Pembrokeshire. Beautiful coastline of Newgale, amazing turquoise water, blue sky, sunny weather.

St David's - another stunning part of history - small town with old cathedral and bishop palace. Full of tourists, old pubs, shops, houses. Few hours is definately too short time to explore this place. I didn't know what to do, which places I should 'catch', which elements, and how. It's sad that I can't stop, think and then photographing. Time is cruel! I want to catch all single part of each building. I can't concentrate just on one thing. I want to catch every single stone, every brick, flower... everything around me is so beautiful! So many ideas! It's just crazy!??

What should I do? It's just stupid to photographing 'everything' I should concentrate, think about most important subjects, ideas, systematize all. But how?

Warsaw - July 2008

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

Memories from Warsaw/Warszawa. Two days is to short to explore this beautifull city. I want to move there some day for month or two to visit all interesting places there. I don't like big busy cities like Warsaw, but I am from Poland and it's shame that I don't know my Capitol City. I know Cardiff - Capitol of Wales better than Warsaw.
This year I am planing to vistit Wroclaw and Lubiaz (Sl0t Art Festival).

Memories from last holidays (Poland 2008 - Kolobrzeg City).

Polish photographers in Wales

I've meet large amount of Polish photographers in Cardiff. I will indtroduce three of them (favourite ones) shortly to show how different views and how different interest we have:

Bartek Nowicki studying BA Documentary Photography in University of Wales, Newport. He documented Polish Labour in UK, photographing life in Poland also made lot of portraits in different countries. My favourite series from his portfolio is Set called Polish Labour - clever layout of 5 images constructed together to show two side of life - work and home/familly.

Michal Iwanowski - finished MA in Documentary Photography at University of Wales, Newport, specializing in portraits and painting with light, he recieved The Project Assistance Award (British Journal of Photography in association with Nikon). Really great collection of portraits of his friends and other people (volounteers). Interesting point of view and amazing effect of painting with light - it's incredible he just used basic torch, which he bought for 50p in tesco - but what a beautifull result!

Maciej Dakowicz - MA in Documentary Photography at University of Wales, Newport, documentary photographer. His set of images, which he made during last 4 years in Cardiff are really amazing and good known - his photos were published in The Sun, Daily Mail, The Guardian, Fakt, Der Spiegel, NEED magazine, BBC, YAHOO, Serendib Sri Lankan Airlines magazine, Etihad Airlines magazine, The Independent on Sunday, Vacature, New Welsh Review, Kruger, Get Lost!, Digital Camera, FOTO Magazyn, Amateur Photographer, Photography Monthly, DC Photo, Outdoor Photographer, Himal Southasian, World Pulse Magazine, HK Magazine, Star Tribune, Wales on Sunday, Click, Globtroter, Out Traveler, Adbusters. He is really huge!!! Just look at his work and you will understand WHY? !!!

It's time for me to think about the future. It will be long way...
