Kasia Swierczek's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I am an aspiring photographer currently studying photography at Northern Virginia Community College partime in the evenings. I enjoy taking photographs using my digital Canon 5d Mark II, Canon Rebel Xti or Nikon FM2 for film, and occasionally my Holga.

Landscape photography was where I discovered my passion, but recently I have enjoyed taking pictures of about anything... my latest craze being urbex, abandoned buildings, and street photography. I am intrigued and inspired by photographers such as the great Ansel Adams, Phillippe Halsman, Shirin Neshat, and Adam Fuss. I am excited to have finally found something I am truly passionate about and hope to make many friends who share similar interests!

Flickr has been such a great resource and outlet for me. I am thankful and humbled by the people and opportunities that have come my way thanks to this site.

I enjoy making flickr friends and contacts too. I am an active flickrette by posting and commenting daily. If I choose to make you a contact I do so because I value your work and respect your input. In return I will provide regular comments, feedback, and spark an occasional discussion. If you choose to make me a contact I expect the same effort as I am all about shared input and none of that one sided business.

"I have had the pleasure and honor to shoot with Kasia and the days when I know I am going to see her, it fills the hours with anticipation.

Her warm smile, easy laugh, and enthusiasm for photography take me off to the good parts of my mind. She is the reason I am taking a photography course next semester and the reason why I want to get better.

She has already won the DCist award like thirty times now. Her photos are so good, the DCist awarded the Photo of the day twice to her for the same day! Ask her about the double award and she will probably lie. She is very modest about her talent."

"Kasia has a truly unique eye for photography. She pays extreme attention to the smallest details from exposure to composition to the display of items she captures. Her love of photography and her desire to constantly improve shows in the images she captures.

I love the fact that she always has a new way to look at the normal things in life. She is a risk taker and has captured some excellent photographs in the process.

Her desire to find new opportunities for shooting seems limitless which sets her apart from most photographers. Most people would think, gee why do you want to take photos of an abandoned building or pictures of rusted cars in a junkyard.

I look forward to each new Flickr posting of hers as you never know what will show up next. Some people have an innate ability to do things. I truly believe Kasia has an innate ability with photography.

I know that I will continue to enjoy her photography as it just draws you in and I anticipate many more great images from Kasia as she continues to grow as a photographer in the coming years."
