There are places that you can’t always enter, let alone photograph. Places that are often fascinating and full of magic. This fascination can be based on various premises. In my case, it is the form of the subject, its purpose and historical aspect.
Industrial facilities right after modernist architecture are…

Walking down Dominick Street Upper, at some point, a fascinating and unique structure emerges. A four-story, white rendered block with horizontal glazing, flat roof and tall lift tower. It’s Hendrons former Showroom. Then, along the Palmerston Place stretches the further part, workshops

The weather is fantastic these days, so I’m trying to take advantage of it. Not only by cycling to my new favourite swimming spot but also by photographing Dublin and its architecture more often than usual
In such illumination and through a red filter, everything looks simply wonderful. With intense…

I have been photographing Dublin and its architecture for over a decade, but I have to admit that there are still many places that I need to discover and explore. It is a wonderful process that takes place in stages. Some time must pass between them. Often quite long

Instant cameras - did you think I forgot about them? No, not at all
I just wanted to wait a bit with this post and avoid the situation when my blog turns into a purely technical, full of camera descriptions.
In addition, real experience with this technology is relatively new…

Dublin suburb libraries

Photographing Ringsend Public Library, helped me to realise how very interesting these small beautiful buildings are. Following the same path, I visited the remaining three I mentioned in the post last week.
Updated restrictionists allowed me to move around Dublin a bit further at last, and I decided to use…

Ringsend Public Library
2020-04-30 16:01:32 UTC
Last week, I thought it would be a good idea to photograph an interesting building from my favourite period (or around that time), which in architecture was called modern movement. It is supposed to be something that I haven’t photographed yet, or I didn’t pay much attention to. Not an…

A few weeks ago I got a bag full of 35 mm films from a friend of mine (thank you, Aga). I knew I would have to go back to this format. It was only a matter of time. The only question is, for how long this time?

Studio portraits with pinhole camera

The time is running fast. Day by day passes in a flash. And it’s okay. Despite this, there is still plenty of time for getting back to old experiments or tests. Especially now when my commercial photography in on hold and Darkroom Service slowed down drastically as well

Something completely different today. A few ordinary snapshots from a mobile phone that don’t bring anything special except documenting the moment. A few moments, actually, that I miss very much. A few weeks ago, everything changed suddenly in a way nobody expected. It made me stop doing what I was…
