Your National Parks

By -



The grande finale of my year-long scholarship in USA was an epic trip across the west coast of America. A trip – legend, a must-do for cliche-chasing tourists, a must-see of Keurack enthusisasts. We started from San Francisco; went down through 5 line highways to glamorous Los Angeles, then took right towards the lights of Las Vegas. Three iconic cities and everything what was in between.
In between there was a miraculuous nature – tremendous Sierra Nevada, mountains facing to the Atlantic Ocean. There were sequoia trees, as high that they make you think there are a ladder to heaven. There were desserts of Nevada with a moon landscape and the most imaginative sculptures of wind erosion. Legends.
At that point of my life I had just rediscovered my love to black and white photography , that – despite being deprived of colours – was able to show the most stunning tones. The master of this genre is undeniably Ansel Adams. Being a citizen of California and a long-term activist for american nature, Adams built an incredible body of work. His landscapes, shown as compositions of shadows and forms, were collected into several albums, including „Our National Parks”.  A legend.
„Your national parks” was my homework that I got from Ansel Adams. The pictures were taken during a week long hikes and walks across Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks, California, and The Valley of Fire in Nevada.

January has appeared to be full of life-changing events. One of those was a discovery of Helion 50mm f/2, a default lens for Zenits. Who has ever used the Zenit, probably will never forget how amazingly disorting lens was Helion. Then my brother twisted Helion into my camera, we discovered a whole new world. A world of soft light, seen through the glass jar.  Models: Kotuś & Kocia *  * *

food goes back home

In the first world countries, food waste is one of the biggest problems. It has also became a reason of a lifestyle. Freeganism is a practice and ideology of limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources, particularly through recovering wasted goods like food (Wikipedia). In Wroclaw, freegans meet after dark, when the shops are already closed. They find the spots with dumpsters and then begin the action to rescue all the fruits, vegetables and other goods that were sentenced to the premature death. Those still natures are pictures of the rescued food.
