Photograps 2006/07

In the Gallery there are photos from different parts of the world, because my camera is my most faithful companion in traveling. Since my birth I live in Ornontowice (a large village in the south of Poland with 6000 inhabitants, the region is called Silesia) and I almost never photographed my own village. In Autumn 2005 I decided to change it. In my spare time I'd been taking my camera, tripod and set out in searching of subjects. Out of a couple of dozens days spent on photographing I have the pleasure to present the winter-autumn material. My intension was to show Ornontowice as a village. It wasn't difficult task, because as a matter of fact it is a village. On the other hand I had to look with new perspective at places which I am used to. A human being in its nature gets accustomed to surroundings and does not perceive certain things in the same way when arrives to a totally new place. I suspect that some local residents may discover some new sites which they have never seen before. And for visitors from different continents these places may seem a bit exotic. Well, I invite you to have a look.

The pictures were taken on slides and negative films.
