ONCE UPON A JAZZ...

Jazz has been a very strong force in my life. Listening to jazz since early high-school, and attending numerous concerts, I felt the presence of the ephemeral beauty, elusiveness and passing. The memories fade, and the wonderfull feelings risen by it fade in time, as well, if not supported by other media, helping to remember better...
This was a main reason why I reached for a photographic camera. It wasn't long before I was an acredited photographer at the 'Jazz On Odra' festival in my hometown... It wasn't long before I had a number of one-man shows, showing my jazz concert photography...

It wasn't long before photography became the way of life.

Looking at these images, I still hear the music...

The first image is an invitation to my first one-man show in September 1981. More shows followed in the respected galleries in Przemysl, Pila, Wroclaw (Poland), and a show in Chech Krumlovo (former Chechoslovakia).
