Moonrise over Bieszczady, August 2022

Taken from the porch of the mountain refuge “Koliba”, after a day of walking through the mountains and a compulsory plate of ‘pierogi’ (or is my memory deceiving me and it was a quick double yum-yum Chinese soup?). I remember taking the picture: tripod, 135mm lens and Ilford HP5 ISO 400 film, aperture f5.6 – 8 and about 7 seconds, that usually works out in the night. I just wanted the quietness of that moon hanging over the forest in the mist. Like Ansel Adams’ “Moonrise” photograph I too went on feeling and did not know how it would be printed, funnily enough shortly after returning I discovered the effects of a Lith developer and toning (here a bit of selenium and gold) and the picture forced itself into my enlarger, the blue glow represents the feeling quite well.

My photographs of Poland have to me the most depth. Its the 5th time I come back to my home country with a camera, and an ever firmer conviction that ‘there is something to be done here’ and so I photograph ever more deliberately.

Musing on a title that might be given to this work the first that comes to mind is “earth, skin, spirit” . The symbolic trio, the unending rural landscape, the rugged skin of the farmers and the subtle feeling of a higher presence or providence lingering in the calm landscape - unify the natural, the human and the broadly spiritual aspects which relate to my own quests and questions. Of course, this is not meant to be a series of idyllic photographs or anything which overlooks the hypocrisy unfolding day by day as the church and state forge their toxic friendship. It may however be a look at another side of this country and our own culture in a broader sense.

Without further ado: Part I of the pictures made at the crossroads of where nature, man and spirit bargain for their place.

The darkroom process documented in a few pictures

As the reality and enduring presence of a new conflict in close proximty begins to settle into our daily lives let us not let it become another new-normal, let us strive for unity among ourselves and against the forces of agression and injustice and above all let us keep supporting the victims of meaningless and terryfying war.

Here are a few photographs taken over the last two weeks.

Michaele and Venetia, in the entrance to their home - South Italy (July 2021)

The picture is an important one to me, they are very special people living a life that for most of us is too different to understand. They live on a wild mountain which they also practically own, herding cows and goats, needing little else.

This is the start of my project about South Italy.

(old news) Italy wins the EK

The pictures were taken in Olevano, south Italy, an hour after my arrival, after watching the penalties. Immediately after the game everyone got in the cars and the clebration started. I put my 35mm on the F1 and got the flash. The picutres were all taken with the camera in one hand on Bulb and the flash in the other, triggered by the button. ORWO 400 film.
