A Fire Runs Through It.

I’m becoming obsessed by the fire…
The primordial force of no earthy origin.
Of captivating beauty, forever sublime, even in its ashes and fumes…
The spiritual depth, the emotional fever, the power of human and nature’s genius…
The most mesmerizing epitome of the liminal and the paradoxical – consuming and supporting [...]

Let it shine… (Whilt 6)
I have to confess – I took my camera with me one Christmas-time evening specifically for this reason – to collect the ‘evidence’ of the tastelessness and prodigality, which flourish in the Irish (and I suppose Polish, French, Spanish… everywhere) towns right from the beginning of November. Why someone would like to keep three Christmas [...]

Alice, L. Carroll and their land…
I’ve promised her a little post some time ago… Then I excused myself due to the flood of other ‘important’ things to do… Yet, she has been waiting patiently, the way kids do when their intelligence and understanding of human issues surpasses our own…
Alice and her Wonderland – not that long time ago I would [...]

The Face – a short story of existence and annihilation.
Human face. The Face. What is there what our conscience claims as ‘real’ that is more exposed and more impenetrable, more familiar and more uncanny, more loved and more despised?
At the beginning there was a Chaos and…
For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals
Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination
We [...]

Change of the Header Image…
My loyal and new-coming readers – please note, that from now my page has got a new Header Image (just above). It’s a part of my photo (see below) featuring my porcelain doll called Maria.
The old one – incorporating a fragment of Joseph Koudelka’s photo could have been read as a violation of the photographer’s [...]

Nan Goldin’s photos – because truth liberates…
La literature m’assura que les hommes existaient depuis longtemps.
La musique m’apprit que leur melancolie les precedait.
La peinture me precisa que les hurlements peuvent etre silencieux.
(…)
Le jour se leve, gris bleu et m’envahit.
Tes yeux aussi e levent et me rencontrant me sortent de l’obscurite.
Ce qui est inter-dit, entre reel [...]

Impressions of Galway – a spontaneous visitor notes…
A number of reputable guidebooks praise Galway, the capital of the West of Ireland as a ‘delight’, a home for a bohemian ‘crowd of artists, musicians, intellectuals’. Well, it’s probably the matter of a taste, but I couldn’t experience that ‘delight’ – maybe – encouraged by such a promising intro I was looking too hard [...]

The fantastic Canon EOS 40D
Just became a lucky owner of this formidable camera. First of all – its body is designed for a decent pair of (masculine – I suppose) hands – mine is fainting after ten minutes of holding it and struggling with all the sophisticated apparatus on it. Having EOS 350D I really feel the difference in [...]

Death as an eternal form of Art…
Back to Paris again…
Pere Lachaise is probably one of the most beautiful cemeteries of this world. Like a ghostly, melancholic city within the city, living its own dignified, mysterious life… Its ancient, highly decorative tombs, sculptures, corners and paths where one can easy spent long minutes lost in reflection… The history and spirit behind [...]

Few not-modern notes on humanity…
Quite recently I’ve got an interesting, half-an-hour talk about nothing. It happened to be focused on modern art, modern human condition, place for beauty and ethics within it and, after making a heroic round in escaping its inbuilt vacuum it came to the point of an inception – to a rather corny remark that ‘nonsense’ [...]
