Liverpool
[dropcap]A[/dropcap]nother location we decided to visit was Liverpool. City brings few interesting things to do such as Albert docks or very impressive Anglican cathedral with roof top access that enables us to see panorama of whole Liverpool, nice place to go if you into cityscape photography. As always I'm attaching a few pictures from that trip.

Dove Stone
[dropcap]N[/dropcap]ice nature, easy route, cool views around and quite pleasant weather as for end of October. I've been there already few times and always enjoy a lot. This time was even better since I had my mum with me. There is nothing better than good walk and lovely company.
Sound Pictures
I have started new project and I would like to invite anyone to visit new website.

Studio
It's so much easer to work with passionate model rather than someone who just stiffly stand and stares at lens like deer at the headlights. I know, I'm photographer and I should tell my model exactly what to do but I find it rather difficult task... Maybe one day I will learn how to do it but for now lets hope that every model I'm going to shoot will be as good as Agnieszka was.
Football?
I have never been at the football game before. Yes, I realize that some may say I'm weird, living in Manchester where two worldwide popular clubs are based and not seen singe game live. But I was always a nerd therefore even esport exited me more than traditional sport.
I am sincerely grateful to photography for making me do things what I otherwise would have never done. Without strong desire for image making that drives me to unknown places I would probably seat that day at home since football isn't on the list of my interests.
Photos from that day:
Some thoughts...
It turned out that one of the chefs announced his upcoming transfer to another hotel, in another city, far away from this town. That day camera was in my bag and I thought it could be good to take his portrait in order to keep his image in my memory since I probably will not see him again. This made me realize that if everything goes well my days around here might be also numbered... Than it came that idea...
As my thanks I will try to create an album with portraits of my colleagues with whom I spent the last few years breathing same workspace air, laughing at their jokes, sharing problems and concerns. I strongly believe that my future is in a photography, not hospitality and therefore this shall be my last gratitude for the time spent together. Admittedly I'm not gone yet so there is some time left to execute my plan.
I write here about it because perhaps no one is reading this blog of mine, written in my broken English.
Dancing flash mob
Taking pictures of moving subjects is something that I never experience doing before so today's photoshoot became to be another challenge for me. I believe that video would do better job in this scenario but I decide to give a try anyway. Group of Zouk dancers meet up to do flash mob in the middle of city centre of Manchester. Here are 3 of my favourite pictures form that day:
Pigeon master
I came across this guy today while shooting performing dancers at piccadilly gardens. He start throwing seeds around and all those pigeons swarm him in the hearth beat. It looked kinda cool...
Iron Jungle
Black and White was never my favourite type of photography therefore very seldom during taking picture I thought about specific frame as black and white one. This time it happened. I always thought that inventing colour was a big step for photography so why would anyone go back to monochrome? Now I begin to understand...
For anyone wondering these are ventilation chimneys in front of large UK corporation.
