Wherever you go, it goes with you. It is a tree, a lonely dove, a flirtatious look. A photo of mother and coral reef are proofs. On the road, over cities and fields, under the oceans and seas. raptures happen everywhere, second by second, more and more. Millions of them while reading a single e-mail. We keep humming this tune, and you can see it sometimes, when you look through your camera viewfinder.
Three capital cities, innumerable monuments of culture, art and architecture. Hundreds of thousands of coffee houses and restaurants, hundreds of theatres, opera houses, dozens of interrelated cultures, cuisines, fashions. 7.5 million people and one photographer only. These photographs were created during several travels to Paris, Berlin and Warsaw in the years 2006-2011. Unforgettable experience.
For thousands of years there have been messengers on the roads of this world. On foot or on horseback, in the heat or in the middle of the night, they've been roaming the world looking for the right address. You can meet them anywhere as well as you can always meet someone waiting for their message. You will recognise them in an instant. You may realise that you have a message. For someone. In the heat or in the middle of the night.
Jerusalem was founded 4600 years ago, Tel Aviv has existed since 1909. Both cities are treated as capital cities, and both are the essence of today's Israel, each in a different way. The quintessence of the differences and similarities of these cities is difficult to tell if you do not have a camera. The "Tel Aviv - Jerusalem Project" is the result of my trevels to Israel. Photographs included in this assignment were made in years 2007-2009.
August Ferdinand Möbius is best known for his discovery of a non-orientable two-dimensional surface with only one side when embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space. It's called the Möbius strip. He is the father of many mathematical concepts, including the Möbius transformations, the Möbius function, and the Möbius inversion formula. It's everywhere, just look at this.
Trogir, situated in the south of Croatia (formerly Yugoslavia) was founded by Greek colonists in 3trd century BC. Trogir is a historic town and harbor on the Adriatic coast. Tréguier is the capital of the region Trégor - located on the coast of the English Channel in French Brittany. Tréguier is the hometown of Ernst Renan, philosopher, who focused on nationalism and national identity. Unlike German philosophers, he defined nation as "the desire of a people to live together". The journey from Trogir to Tréguier - from Croatia, through Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Luxemburg and almost all of France made me aware that Europe, even unconsciously, becomes a single nation in the sense of Ernst Renan's definition.
