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 travelling, socializing, listening to good music, and watching great movies. I enjoy studying the art of masters of painting and photography, always finding new inspirations in it. I work on an ongoing photo project called "The Theatre of Daily Life" Recently, I produced, designed and published over four photo albums from the Philippines, Cambodia and Mexico containing over 400 images.
