It’s been a looooong time since I wanted to print my own photographs. In this digital age I’ve become accustomed to just flying through them one after the other. However, my trip to Poland was a profound personal journey into childhood and a country I hadn’t visited for fifteen years. I’m not surprised at all that there are a number of images that are just screaming at me to be framed en gusto. So here is the first in a series I hope to put together from the trip in the next few weeks. I am offering them for sale as 5 x 7 and 10 x 15 prints and they’re beautifully printed on metallic paper. If you want to be my superhero you can order the print on an actual metal board.
A little bit about this first image….my last leg of the 7 day trip took me to Krakow and a relatively bohemian enclave called Kazimiez. Escorted by a long lost uncle we drove the streets at night after getting off the train from Warsaw. At one point he stopped and said: “see that alley over there?…go take a peek.” I did, and came across a seemingly perverse and hugely amusing phrase written in perfect English. At first I cracked up, then I looked about me into this desolate alley and abandoned building materials and machinery and the scene took a whole new meaning. I mean, why don’t we do it right here? Why does it have to be there? then? further? later? I felt embarrassed for laughing in the first place, but glad for my camera to show me the greater essence of this little moment. This is why I love photography.

Thank you!
