I have here lot of interesting shots to do :-) Part of Krakow, called Kazimierz was given to Jews in the times of Inquisition. Still this is a place with different culture and people than anything you probably can see, despite Holocaust. Old buildings and people with their dying, but still clearly visible culture, music and behaviors. This place is changing - Krakow is a city very popular among places to visit in your so-called free world. This influences and will eventually destroy cultural differences between Jews here and, say, typical American (no offend here)* - they are slowly losing their world when are given fast foods, TV and so. I want to capture them before all this world disappears. How they are born, their childhood (God! /Yehovah!/ Buddha! don't let them capture me photographing children! I may go to jail and may be forced to defend myself using my camera. Contax will be better - have sharp corners, good for crunching heads. Or Argus???) their love and these old people on their chairs in last light of this autumn... *or typical Vogon. Or someone from Warsaw. Or Vienna (this is a sad thing) Or Tokyo. All alike. If someone is offended, please erase this mail. And don't look at any fading cultures. Go to McDonald, eat some "happy meat" "born on trees" and imagine you are Stanley. Or other 'real hero' PS Sorry. I have a headache. Typing stupid things. My doctor says this is because of blue moon. Back to my Shakespeare and Latakia... St.
