At
my photojournalist times in Poland I had a privilege and pleasure to
photographed people like Pope John II, Mother Theresa, Lech Walesa, Ray
Charles, Miles Davis and many others.
I love to travel, observe and socialize with people, listen to good music, and enjoy great movies. I enjoy to study art of masters of painting and photography and always finding new inspirations. I work on ongoing photo project called "The Theatre of Daily Life" Recently I produced, designed and published four photo albums from the Philippines and Cambodia containing over 300 images. http://www.blurb.ca/b/8938896-the-philippines-natural-beauty
