Photographer's Note
THINGS Photography…
That THING down there
Every one of us, the outstanding photographers, has to go through the THINGS stage of photography.
Some of us stay at THINGS, some of us move forward, but all of us from time to time are doing the THINGS …
We must do it. We can't avoid it. The THING is there and we have to show it to the world, since no one ever before had seen the THINGS. We are absolutely the first ones on earth to discover the beauty of THINGS.
The THINGS can be spotted anywhere.
When you walk down the streets, with your head up high and your mouth open wide, with saliva dripping on your camera(s)…???
It can't be denied… You must have seen the THINGS up there.
When you walk down the lake shore and you see the lonely boat, abandoned by its owner… It's not a boat - anymore…
It's the THING thing !
You must take a picture of it, for the hell of it, for the salvation of the world and because nobody ever did this before you…
Therefore…It's a THING. Wonderful THING to share with us !
Look down…Do you see the THINGS down there ???
I saw them !!! The THINGS. The Las Vegas' THINGS.
Gilded Julius Cesar' head… Under my feet…
"" Gotch'ya, you bloody, stinky anti-republican dictator…You're not Emperor any more…
You are the THING from now on. I made you a THING … Julian, the bloody baldy one… A mere THING !
Now, the most honorable members of TE will reduce you Julio, in their critiques, to: 'Nice POV", "I like the colors" "I hate Las Vegas" and the most charming: "There are millions upon millions of starving kids in America and yet they gild the streets with gold, those rotten, capitalistic pigs. ""
-----------------------------------------
The THINGS are the things to come…
Don't miss them, folks…

Jak masz szczęście, to przynajmniej jesteś na zloto.....

Pieknie, zloto lezy na ulicy...
Wszystko, co dotykasz, zmienia sie w zloto....
Doskonale spojrzenie i mistrzowsko wyczarowana atmosfera.

Taaa..., pieniądze - mówią - leżą na ulicy. Nie wiem, co to za waluta - nie nasza - ale widać w Las Vegas polskie powiedzenie stało się ciałem :)))
Taaa... U nas czegoś takiego nie uświeć. Ale też sa różne różności. Mówiło się kiedyś chłopakowi - chcesz, to możesz mnie pocałować na Węgierskiej Górce... I starczyło znaleźć taką przykrywę żeliwną z wypisaną nazwą miejsca produkcji. A co się robi z tymi złotymi ćwiekami w Las Vegas ? Można tym zagrać w kasyno ? Zapłacić za seks ?
Taaa... Kiedyś kolega od fotografii pokazywał mi, jak fotografować różne płytkie reliefy - trzeba mieć światło ze sobą i przyświecić z boku. A Ty pewnie tuż przed samochodem ? Że Cię nie rozjachało ! By dopier było !
Taaa... No co ja dużo będę gadać - znowu z twarzą przy trotuarze...
Pozdrawiam pięknie i weekendowo. T.

We follow our path. But rarely do we take the time to look at what is under our feet. Is the path smooth and shiny? Is the path made of stones or of clay. And sometimes, surprisingly, we can even find some gold... We just have to be at the right place and look carefully.
The decor is stylish. Strangely, it seems so dark that it could be a parking garage. But the design is quite chic and stylish. Las Vegas, I guess! I would qualify your point of view of... low! Sometimes, the photographer need to be really down, close to the ground. Did he say, finally: "Veni, vidi, vici"?
Careful presentation, as usual...
