BIOGRAPHY
Born in Brzesko, Poland, just few kilometers from the famous brewery Okocim.
I appreciated photography since I was a kid. Remember looking at the old family photographs and wondering how they were made. When I was five or maybe six years old I was playing with my grandfather's old Russian made camera but at that time didn't know much about it or how it worked. My parents bought a Canon SLR when I was ten and since then the real interest sparked. I was shooting pictures with this camera as often as I could. When I moved to the US in '99. I was using simple film cameras and a digital P/S until 2008 when I bought my first DSLR Nikon D40x. Now I am shooting with D200 and D300, and just recently I got pulled into medium format photography. I own Yashica 635 and Voigtlander Bessa 6x9, as well as few 35mm film cameras Nikomat EL and Yashica LYNX-1000. I love those cameras as they all produce great pictures and I strongly believe that film has it's own beauty and depth where the essence of the subject captured dwells..
