My Photo Booth Photo Blog

My name is Marcin and you will mainly know me as one of this blog editors dedicated to one of my greatest passions: PHOTOGRAPHY.

About me

I study Spanish Philology on Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland. The Spanish and Catalan language and culture are my second greatest passion. That’s for the studies…

I am originally from Starachowice, a town in Gory Swietokrzyskie. “Gory” means “mountains” in English… and I will be boring but that’s my third passion. I love Tatra Mountains especially.

Blog

In this blog I will try to explain you how do I see photography and all the thing relationated with this subject. In few days I will surely write some articles about black and white, digital and traditional photography, etc. It’s good to look through someone’s eyes sometimes so I hope you understand my ideas of the greatest art which lives hard moments these days, I think, as all arts these days. I will continue this subject later.

Yes, that was a marketing trick…

My camera

Well, I have more than one, as you shoud expect… but I mainly work on Minolta 700si for making the traditional film photos and Canon PowerShot 510A - it’s not a tecnological miracle, but all depends on the photographer… - for digital photography. I also have Praktica DTL, Zenit, Fed and Cmena (last tree are Russian masterpieces). I had opportunity to work with some other cameras and I guarantee I will share my opinion about them with you.

What photography?

I am specially interested in documental photography. Yet, although I consider it the most demanding, I do not scorn other faces of the ‘art of images’. Have you ever tried to shoot a limon? Do it and tell me if the results are satisfying.

(no rewards in this contest…)

I hope you enjoy participating with me in the great adventure with photography.

Love,

Marcin
