2 Strange Days in Kraków

Sorry for such a big lack of updated. I’ve been on the road (Trójmiasto-Warsaw-Kraków) over and over again.

I think that everybody know what happened on the 10th of April. A few days after a decision was made to bury the president’s and the first lady’s bodies in Kraków. Many, many people came, most of them with cameras. Me also – something happened and I had the choice of looking at a blank screen for the whole day, or just do, what I haven’t done in a long time. Shoot some street (if you can call it that). No coffins, no officials, no crying, no other things that you can easily find on news pages.

The day before the ceremony Kraków was like a ghost-town: I’ve never seen anything like this in this city. Pretty strange.

You can see a lot of mistakes on these photos: sometimes there was too much sharpen used, sometimes the frames are really, really bad, and some things are not symmetrical or cut. I am aware of that but have not much to say apart from the fact that I like the photos from the day before the funeral more. If you can even say that you “like” something like photos from such an event.

The pics reminded me of how I love my Fisheye 2 lomo camera that was stolen from me two months ago. If I had a bag of money (and two piles hidden under my bed;) I’d just shoot, shoot, shoot film. With small-toy-thought-removing-frame-capturing cameras. And 2 years ago I laughed and said that “there’s no difference”. There is.

Rock Metal Fest @ Klub Studio, Kraków – 20 III 2010

Almost 10 concerts during almost 13 hours. A mix of old-school metal, trash, slugde – my ears (and eyes) were bleeding that night. But let’s face it – it is all great to photograph as those metal heads always move a lot, trash a lot and swing their giutars. Awesome for a photo shot!

Well, all I wanted to write about the gigs can be found on Muzyka.wp.pl so let’s go to the photos…

The pics were done for Wp.pl. Really, you’ve gotta love one-day festivals!

Brendan Perry @ Rotunda, Kraków – 1 IV 2010

I have never been a fan of Dead Can Dance or Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard during their solo careers. However seeing Lisa perform year and a half earlier and seeing Perry now, I can say one thing – I prefer Perry’s vision.

I won’t put down all the obvious things about him and a great band he had because it’s really pointless. A must see.

Great lights during the second song – wonderful example of how you can lit the scene well and make it atmospheric at the same time. Turning off the light doesn’t make any good – a skilled technician can!
