My father was a photographer. When I was a kid I held him the secondary flash sometimes when he shot portraits of celebrities in our small rooftop apartment in Warsaw. This is probably why I like sharp photos and good equipment... :-) .

I was 14 when he divorced my mother and moved out. At that point I felt free to begin taking photos on my own...

That lasted just for a few years, till I had to flee my country.

Without an access to a darkroom, I quickly lost the interest to do anything but the usual holiday snaps.

After some 30 years, I realized photographers were moving their darkrooms into printers and computers, so I started again, using my Nikon and the inherited Hasselblad 500 C/M, and then all sorts of other cameras.

It is like learning to walk the second time - lots of fun - as one of my favourite songs says : " Love is lovlier the second time around"...
