Seven Weeks
During the last seven weeks I found myself bouncing from Poland to Canada and back again. And for the last seven(ty) minutes I’ve been battling with what delightful insights about the trip to post here. A couple of photos is a good start, but a helping hand from a friend only way to go:
“Canada is one of those places that you can never leave behind…yes, it may appear to be somewhat dull and ordinary to some, but to those who have experienced it, it’s so much more. I told myself that it was about seeing the sights and experiencing nature again, but if I was really honest with myself (and my parents) I’d say that it was 100% about seeing my beautiful and witty friend Monika. My best friend in the whole world for whom I’d cross over burning coals and swim across an ocean. If it wasn’t for the convenience of flying I actually would have swam across the Atlantic for this spectacular person…” |
Needless to say, it was great seeing Monika, friends and family. The seven week and seven city tour was amazing and flew by too quickly. For more photos can be found on: Flickr. Slowly but surely, I’ll be adding more images from the trip.
Now that things are settling back to normal here in Krakow, a couple of projects that will hopefully be done in the near future:
+ Michal Kowalczuk - Drawings
+ JK Fotografia
+ Budonis
Caleb Charland
New site launch for contemporary photographer Caleb Charland. Charland’s photographic work is part phenomena and simple physics.
“… Much of this work pursues temporal phenomena and the influence of physical forces on matter. Photography serves my practice well as a means to experience this activity in a single moment or to combine several different moments into a single experience. The artwork I create combines my scientific curiosity with a constructive approach to making pictures. I utilize everyday objects and fundamental forces to illustrate my own experiences with wonder. Each photograph begins with the simple question “How would this look? Is that possible? What would happen if…?” and develops through a sculptural process of experimentation. …” |
