entry description
Former industrial district that contained coal mine, coke plant and iron works changed to a place with new life = a place for people to enjoy concerts, gourmet meals and meet with the loved ones. That was a change of place, a new life filled the same sceneries. Our region, our country, our continent gets through a similar change process continuously. People moving and looking for new chances. This was so true at the time when I made the photo series (with big imigration wave from Africa and Middle East to Europe), it is so true right now when millions flee from the aggressor army.about the photographer
I am a big admirer of the world around us. I shoot mostly landscape and cityscape on medium format analog camera. My photographs are square and in black&white. I am true amateur, shooting with passion what and when I decide to. This gives me enough freedom to focus on my projects. But it is a form of meditation, relaxation, self-realization through a creative medium = shooting, developing and finaly enlarging my photos in darkroom to achieve my vision.back to gallery
