i was using photographic cameras as far back as I can remember. in my youth, in communist Poland they were Russian-made junk but one day father brought me an Exacta from work, which i took for a school trip - the sharpness and clarity of the images was shocking.

the rise of digital photography changed everything.
for many years, my photographic activity was financed by sales of usage rights via ›Getty Images - unfortunately, that revenue has nose-dived, for one reason or many reasons, along with the general decline in proceeds from any creative profession.

i continue, of course, as i regard catching images an essential and wonderful part of life. for managing photographs of people i have written a simple web app, which i am continually improving, it is currently on ›netcells.net/photographed, but i am preparing a beautiful new home for it. it a very quick way to show recent images with a number of options attached.

i am re-thinking how to show the photographs, for now, most of new images go into the ›Image Blog - that simply shows anything that i find interesting or worth sharing, and, since it is a database, it can be easily expanded or modified. the other section (called Sessions) will have to be re-named, only photographs with a deeper philosophical meaning will go there (most photos have that but it is often hard to find). My beautiful partner will certainly get her own album, for now you can find her images by searching for ›Ali, or on the general Sessions page.

if you want to buy images some of your options are outlined ›here
