After the vernissage

So we've finally done it! We launched our first exhibition of pictures from Ecuador. We've published the album. You can buy it at skarbyekwadoru.pl. Mr. Ambassador visited us and opened the exhibiton. Mr. Fiedler visited us and told few words about beautiful country. Over 150 people came to the vernissage! Thanks to all of you who came. Thanks to all of you who decided to buy our album - we sold over 40 pieces that means you like it! The most common question asked was "what's next?", "when will be next album available?". I like these questions, but unfortunately it's not that easy. We paid for everything with our own money. We must get it back before starting a new project. It's not that easy, but we'll try harder! If it's really important to you to see our next project, please do some marketing and help us to sell more albums. It will help us start new project.

7 Days left to the event...

So, only 7 days left to the event. It will finally happen on April 28th 18:30 at Czerska 8/10 (Agora SA building). You're invited. Your friends, if interested, are also invited. This is open event. Everyone can come. We will open the photo exhibition "!Ecuador mi amor!" and announce release of photo album "The Jewels of Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands". Exhibition will be actually opened by Ambassador of Ecuador in Poland. Mr. Arkady Fiedler also confirmed his presence at the event - he is the author of Prologue in the album, so he is really very important man. You will be able to buy an album with our singatures at the promotional price - 120 PLN! Regular price is 149 PLN and you can already order an album at skarbyekwadoru.pl. There's delivery to the door included in price, so maybe if you can't make it to the vernissage, you can just use the other option?
So again - ALL OF YOU ARE INVITED! See you next week! And wish us luck!

Photographic Album about Ecuador coming soon...

After many days of preparation, hours of hard work, many people engaged, finally it comes! Our album with pictures from Ecuador should be released on April 28th 2011. Of course it won't be anything like stuff you can buy cheap in Empik stores or another places like that. This will be The Event - true photographic album. It means the size will be proper - 375x280 mm is big enough I hope. It has 136 colour pages. I couldn't find such a big publication in Empik or other bookstores recently. But it's not everything. Album is prepared in three languages: polish, english and spanish. So it can be read by many different people, not only polish guys! And we went even further - it's really high quality. But you must see it with your own eyes. Just come to the exhibition vernissage on April 28th 18:30 in Agora SA, Warsaw and you'll have a chance. You can order the album now just by sending e-mail to skarbyekwadoru@gmail.com or coming to the vernissage on April 28th. Album will be released as limited edition and we do not plan wide distribution. Price is set to 149 PLN.

Opole postcards

Trees from Moszna

When you go for a workshop and want to take some pictures the only thing that can fail is the weather. It was the case on my workshop on Saturday. Fortunately if you can't photograph what you planned, it's always an option to find something else and not waste the day. I figured out that in the park next to Moszna castles one can come across nice tree roots, so I decided to take few pictures and that's why you have to see them now :)

I've also found something else, but you must guess what is this:

Frogs from Moszna

April fool

Yes, you're right. This space trip was of course an April fool, but otherwise maybe I'll have a chance to make this dream true one day? Thanks for you off-line comments and messages!

Trip of my life confirmed!

Yes! I'm so happy, because I've just received confirmation that I'll have an opportunity to see something that not many people living on Earth seen from such a close distance. Moreover I believe to have a chance to take unique pictures (is Canon gonna make it?). Unfortunately I must wait till 2013 and prepare a little bit for this trip. Luckily I found a sponsors who will pay for it. My government contacts helped me a lot. The rest will be paid by private companies. And you must know that this kind of trips aren't cheap! Now I've to pass all the medical research and if everything is ok, in two years I'll see Space from the very close distance. You don't even know how happy I am!!! I definitely recommend the company organizing such trips: Space Adventures.
