Tak było.
Sala klubowa wypełniona po brzegi ludźmi, wszyscy oświetleni ultrafioletem. Na ekranie w oddali widoczna wizualizacja i pseudonim artysty: Metrik. Czarno-biały kadr. Mnóstwo rąk w górze.

Tłum ludzi stojący na chodniku przed ministerstwem. Samba Warszawski Rumor. Dwie osoby grające na bębnach i jedna na... przepraszam, nie wiem jak ten instrument się nazywa, choć mam go na milionach zdjęć. Takie metalowe coś, w które uderza się pałeczką. Dwie osoby krzyczące do megafonu. W tle napatoczyła się czerwona flaga. Plakat w mieście z napisem "Made in Poland. Used in Gaza"

Did a photo walk today and I had a mood for so-called Boring Stock Illustrations.

I hereby present you a rare Pokemon - a parcel locker operated by our national postal operator.

Heavy traffic on Łazienki Route. Numerous passenger cars (plus one public bus) on two-lane highway. In the middle of the frame, 80 km/h speed limit sign is visible. Huge Santa Claus with green bag mounted to a balcony. Of course, it's November. Uber Eats courier waiting for the traffic light to change on the intersection. Devastated storefront of defunct Central Shop at Chmielna street. Lots of graffiti and stuff.

"Dość wyzysku młodych" - marsz organizowany przez Koło Młodych Inicjatywy Pracowniczej przeciwko śmieciowym warunkom życia, zatrudnienia i studiowania.

Osoba z transparentem przemawiająca do mikrofonu. Za nią kroczy blok z dwoma banerami. Na jednym jest napisane "stabilność nie elastyczność", na drugim "dość wyzysków młodych". Grupa osób niosąca baner z napisem "dość wyzysku". Wielkie białe litery na czerwono-czarnym tle. Osoby demonstrujące kroczą ulicą Mokotowską obok jakiegoś mega drogiego i ekskluzywnego sklepu. Widoczny szyld "Sense Dubai". W trakcie marszu padły gorzkie słowa pod adresem takich przybytków: to, że sklep jest drogi, ładny, piękny i elegancki, wcale nie znaczy, że warunki pracy w nim są w porządku. Jeden z demonstrantów trzyma mikrofon i przemawia (a raczej krzyczy) w bardzo ekspresywny sposób do zgromadzonych ludzi.

Oh, and this one to conclude the day.

I should do long exposures more often but I'm too lazy to carry a tripod.

People (visible as silhouettes as it's dark) waiting in the queue to get into the venue. A big neon with the word "Lumagica" is visible at the top. Intentionally blurry shot of colorful lights, making them huge and semi-transparent. Another intentionally blurry shot of lights, all of them orange. A texture of an installation that was supposed to mimic a ladybird.

Beatiful light over autumn leaves lying on the ground during a golden hour, with sun visible on top of the frame. Some random branch in front of a garden gazebo and blue sky. A branch with dry leaves set against a dirty grey wall. A stained glass-like pattern on the door.

Yesterday I made a quick detour to snap a few pics of CH Land before they demolish it (somewhere in 2026 probably).

I rarely visit that part of Warsaw so I had no idea parts of that shopping mall were in such a sorry state.

And this is what Warsaw centre looked like from my office window.

No longer sure if it was this foggy or those windows were THAT dirty. Or both.

And I definitely no longer go for this kind of artsy photography.

I just wonder if this tree is still there, or has it been forced to step away so that another housing estate can be built.

Found some old RAW files from 2014 and 2015 on some portable SSD of mine. Most of them were crap, but much to my surprise I found a handful of pictures worth keeping.

For example, the 2014 me didn't like this picture much.

In 2025 I love shooting this kind of […]
