Czego nigdy nie widzialam / What I have never seen

No moze z wyjatkiem tej foty - trafilam na nia w centrum handlowym:)
With exception of this one - I run over this situation in the shopping centre:)

Dzien bez samochodu! *** Day without car!
Today Brussels closed roads and streets for cars - totally! Only buses and trams were permitted to go and a lot of bikes, bikes, bikes and other non-motor devices, own legs included. All people, including me, had a lot of fun riding the biggest and the broadest streets usually filled with cars and Belgian weather did not let us down:) The most beautiful moment that I experienced today happened when I went to our balcony and the SILENCE almost "killed" me...! And it lasted until 19.00 - something really extraordinary! Murmurs, hums, voices and noises went to sleep for one day and their place was taken by idyllic ambiance straight from the countryside. Worth advising to other cities - IT IS POSSIBLE!

Perpignan
Alors - pierwsza odslona Perpignan w tym poscie. Nastepna bedzie o celu wlasciwym naszej wycieczki czyli festiwalu fotografii prasowej i reporterskiej Visa pour l'image.
.. is a small town on the French-Spanish border, surrounded by Pyrenees and Mediterranean Sea, a bit Catalan, but in France with strong south accent, but for me and above all of Mediterranean warm climate, flavour and ambiance which I love! Life runs on the street (also in a very physical sense). However after our trip to the seaside the local people told us it was for them already to cold and they do not go there. I'd love to experience such 25 degrees "coldness" every day in Brussels....
Alors - the first scene of Perpignan here. The next one will tell more about the objective of our trip that was the festival of photojournalism Visa pour l'Image.

ZHU YI!
In August I was in Lille and saw very interesting exhibition of contemporary Chinese photography. Works were presented in 5 thematic threads: timeless history, identity, the individual in his context: real, critical and suggestive, economic growth and a nostalgia for nature, a new consumer society. In such a broad spectrum 130 photos of 33 artists were shown drawing illustrative socio-artistic map of new China. Here I insert only several photos (or their fragments) which I liked the most. ARTIUM and Palacu de Virreina are the organisers.

Moment, chwila, zatrzymanie w ciszy *** Moment, moment, stopping in the middle of silence
...w sytuacji, w czasie... "odkrylam" po raz kolejny podczas wikendu, ze zycie i relacje miedzyludzkie skladaja sie z drobiazgow, z malych chwil na mrugniecie okiem, z momentow magicznych, ktore moga narodzic sie bez pospiechu i zniecierpliwienia... Makrofotografia (i oplotki) jest zanuzeniem sie w inny swiat, troche magiczny a przede wszystkim wolniejszy niz codzienny ciag zdarzen, rzeczy "pilnych" i "do zrobienia". Bylam na wsi, w domu I.C.C.G. - dziekuje:) - gdzie czas plynie innym rytmem, mysli zwalniaja i tych momentow jest jeden za drugim... kilka impresji pod wplywem wikendowej wolnosci (takze w przeciwienstwie do szybkosci)
.. in the situation, in time.. I "discovered" again during the weekend that life and relations with people consit of details, little moments like eye-blink, magic moments, which are "born" without rush.. Macrophotography (and its "surroundings") is going into another world, first of all slower world than day-to-day line of events, things that are urgent and to be done. I was in the country, at the house of I.C.C.G - thank you:) - where time passes at different pace, thoughts are slower and those moments come one after another.. several impressions below being under influence of this slowness.
