Yesterday I knew I have this meeting of the portfolio club. You know I
mentioned it before, group of people discussing they own work and giving
each other mostly honest opinion. We always bring some work we like to
discus of we think it is interesting and we speak about it. It was a second
time I didn't have any prints. So, yesterday I was doubting should I go or
not. Last time I stayed home. This time also persuaded by Viera I have
decided to join a group.
Good I did. Even I didn't have anything of mine own work, I saw quite a
few nice shots and I saw people interested and totally involved in
photography. That helps a lot. Afterwards I went for cup of coffee with our
leader Hans Zoete. He was very nice and suggested that we can have chat
after our group meeting ends. We had and I was talking about what I like to
make and how I feel a bit lost and uncertain and so. In our discussion I
have also mentioned name of Czechoslovak photographer Taras Kuscynskyj.
When I have started to take photography a bit more serious (about 15-20
years ago) he was my idol. I like his work very much. Unfortunately he is
not well known in Western Europe, but he was very popular in Japan. You can
see selection of his work on
World Web photo Gallery.
You maybe surprised that I like work of nude photos, but I love his style,
romantic and very poetic. I believe that his work is just marvelous. You
can see also few
picture made as
postcards. And isn't this a
wonderful portrait.
