In their own way - image of my grandparents

[wojtek]

Hello guys

I would like to invite you to an online presentation of my newest short documentary. It's about my grandparents... And their daily life. I think that you may find it interesting. Here's the teaser:

Entire feature is available on my website: http://www.wojtekkutyla.com/in_their_own_way/

Enjoy,
Wojtek

Nice work wojtek.

A touching piece of documentary photography sensitively done.
I like your use of slide shows instead of galleries. When I get a minute I'll take a look at the others on your site.

Bob.

Dude, great series.........

A very personal and touching peace. I hope to accomplish this also with my grandparents.

Very nicely done. I wish I had something like that of my Grandparents.

A very touching series. My parents are in the age of your grandparents and I imagine that I´ve taken not enough photos of them.

Technically spoken I think that you have a strong sense for the right light situation and the right depth of field.

Love the series. Wish I had something like this from my time with my grandparents. Unfortunately, its to late now.

There some very distinct similarities in your grandparents life style and mine - as a grandfather! My children complain about the routine that my wife and I have but I like the way certain events happen on a regular basis every day. For instance meals are always at the same time. The evening meal is alwats laid-up with cloth on table and knives and forks 'correctly' placed, side plate too. Why do we do it - because its 'safe' I guess. Something that is always there in an ever changing world. And I have an old pair of 'house' shoes too!
I wonder if most grandparents have this regularity in their worlds.

And excellent atmospheric shots too.

Lovely series, thanks for sharing. I like "On our way to the forest" and the one you've posted here the best.

 

[Hiyawaan]

Very nice series! I especially like the one where he's in front of his grave, very odd to be photographed in front of one's own grave.

I really liked this series which immediately tells the life, emotions and memories of your grandparents.

Excellent project. Photography works best when it tells a story. You have done it very well. Congrats!

What a wonderful series. I wish I'd taken more photographs of my grandparents when my grandfather was alive - as the war generation, they had ideosyncracies borne of scarred experiences (my grandfather at 16 travelled from Germany to Shanghai and then Japan in 1938 - married my grandmother, Japanese, in 1940) to make their interaction unique and fascinating. My grandfather died in 1997, and half of my grandmother was lost with him.

My other side, (Argentine) I never really got to know.

interesting

my grandfather's brother, who came with him from Japan to the US by boat, for reasons unknown, or undisclosed, decided not to get off the boat in the US, but stayed on and settled in S. America.

So now we have a bunch of second cousins, a few whom we have met, and some whom we meet regularly down there.
