Face to face with Tomek Adamowicz
These are portraits of people who work in places, which are not seen at main streets in my city. You can find them on the backyards in the centre or in the suburbs. But these people and places where they work give the special atmosphere to Warsaw. The project is not finished, but I'd like to know what do you think about it.

viva LF, viva mistakes
As some experienced photographers says medium format is too slow I decided to go into 4x5".
For over a month I was waiting for new camera, finally this happy moment came true and I made first 3 pictures. As I am completly new to LF cameras all was bit strange, starting from the opening of the body. Possibilities that gives LF camera (tilts, shifts etc) are just overwhleming and of course I wanted to use them just now. So I did, maximal tilt, thanx which you may see the vigniete at the bottom and beautifully sharp..Staszek's hairs. Finally I went to darkroom and again faced some problems making there several heavy mistakes (too less developer in new tank, which was noticed like a minut later). It resulted with the darker horizontal stripes in the upper part and weeping on the wall. I won't even mention problems with drying the sheets...
The result you may see above, suppose to be tragic, but...I find it magic. It all came naturaly in the analogue proces (charged with mistakes), and I am sure some of those mistakes I will repeat in the future.
Now imagine how much I'd sweat trying to make it in PS :)

Ciganos
I met this family in the last summer, gypsy mercado in Fundao (Pt). The man, when he saw me with big MF camera called me to come. He said: please, make us a picture. We are last Gypsies living due to old rules. My wife has to dress the black clothes in this heat. It is a hard life and world does not know about it and about us. We will stay on those pictures for years and people watching us will think of us, our fate and this what has passed away. Then he took his comb, brushed his beard and said - now.
He asked me to make the portraits of his wife and daughter. His wife was happy that the world will see her black clothes and some unknown people far away may think of her, even when she will be gone.
I stood speachless...making just 3 pictures instead of several films...
