Among the Ferns
A close-up view of a mossy forest floor covered with ferns, grasses, and fallen leaves. Warm, soft sunlight filters through the trees in the background, creating a hazy green-and-gold glow with circular patches of blurred light.

Out Here Anyway
A dark, dense evergreen forest with tall pine and spruce trees surrounding a narrow leaf-covered path. The forest floor is lush and green, and the overcast light gives the scene a quiet, damp, moody atmosphere.

You Don't Have to Force It
Every creative person has heard the same advice. Show up every day. Push through the block. I've tried that. Here's what actually worked when the motivation quietly dried up.

No Room at Ground Level
Black-and-white photo of several bicycles locked along a tall iron fence beneath dense trees. One bike is improbably propped almost vertically against the fence, its wheels stacked one above the other, creating a striking geometric tangle of frames, spokes, and railings.

The City Rises
Black-and-white, heavily grainy night photograph inspired by the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. A dense crowd fills a Warsaw street, with several people raising bright flares that cast smoke into the sky. Polish flags and banners are visible among the crowd. In the background, a tall historic tower rises in silhouette, while traffic lights, utility poles, and overhead wires frame the right side of the image. The stark FOMA-film texture, deep shadows, scratches, and blown-out highlights give the scene the appearance of an aged documentary photograph.

I’ll be sharing a few photos from the Warsaw Uprising commemorations over the next few days. I might delete and repost some of them while I figure out how the compression works here, as a few images are losing quite a bit of quality.

Phones are an illness. I was at a Chopin concert in Warsaw today, and I swear half the audience couldn’t go five minutes without pulling out their phones. Pictures, videos… for what? You’re never going to watch that shaky 47-second clip again.

I Didn't Pick Up a Film Camera for the Grain. I Picked It Up to Hold Something Real.
Everyone talks about the grain and the colors. That's not why I went back. I went back because I wanted to hold a memory in my hands again. Something physical. Something I made from start to finish.
