Very nice portraits Erik - lovely sense of sunshine in this picture.

I don't know why but I like this shot. Perhaps because of the historical dimensions. Cheers, OtL

Nikkormat FT3 with pre-AI 50/1.4 (wide open) on Kodak GT800 (disposable camera film)

some background: this guy plays on accordion near my work for at least couple of years. He lives on the outskirts of Warsaw in a wooden shack (pays ~150$ rent a year) and he told me it was hard during last cold nights when temp. was down to -20C and even keeping fire non-stop was not enough to stop water freezing on the table next to his bed. But he is optimistic, waiting for spring to come. I don't know how long he's been living in Poland but from some of his other stories I think he's from Crimea.
Of course you can't see his face because of the pandemic but in the background you can see painted a red lightning- symbol of latest civil unrest in Poland caused by right-wing government trying to ban abortion. I like those subtle "signs of times", however I don't like the issues they depict.


here are some more digital pictures I made two years ago:

Thanks for the context of these pictures, it adds depth to them.

Pan, I don't usually add text to pictures but this one really needed it.
I also have a second picture, more symbolic, about polish economy right now:

Nikon F-301, 50/1.4 AI, expired Superia 100

now you have a full picture of Poland A.D. 2021.

That is how most economies will look like within the next 1 year...
Great picture though Jan.
