Photography is not a science


"Nor can any of this work be considered experimental. Art is not a science."


This sentence is from the small book about Man Ray which I have read recently. His photography is well known even we don't know who is he. I think the most famous photo, which I have known since always is "Le violon d'Ingres". His pictures and thoughts about Art and Photography inspired me to think again about this common truth. I am not a scientist, to be honest I am really bad in it.

Since photography is digital more and more people use it in a new way. It is not way to express and show up the feelings but cold presentation how great they understand the light and other technical features. Of course I admire their clarity and knowledge but I don't feel anything more. These pictures are empty and sadly they are also dead. If you can not touch others by your art is it still an art?

I also take dead photos... Really often I keep photo souvenirs form place I've been. But still photography is my biggest way to better know myself, to feel the life and happiness, to enjoy the sadness while I am screaming.

Today I was on the Cimetière Montmartre
It was raining quite heavily and I was totally wet and cold.
Raindrops was like liquid ice.
Photos look like from old camera, but in fact
the effect was caused of my old
moody lenses, rain and big ISO.


The others with grass and sea are retouched after many, many months. I took them in Sweden but discovered them now.

Eros & Thanatos







There are only two great inspirations in art, death and love. It is well known truth, but each time I discover the power of it I am amazed. Maybe because normally I am
amazed by less emotive things. Now I feel touched by surrounding pain and deeply fascinated by beauty which occurred every little moment. The mixture between is addicting and goes inside the bones.


This is how the recent pictures come into their being. I can only add that from the art way I was mainly inspired by post mortem photos of young women and children from the XIXth century and by gloomy compositions of fenomenal Clint Mansell.

Gloomy Sunday

Feel chaotic and lost. Thinking too much but still have no answer.
