Photographer's Note
The smile of all smiles
The mother of all smiles - some of you may say...
And, who am I to disagree...?
****************
One of my brilliant, deeply intellectual thoughts about the photography…
Buying a camera and then post your works all over the Internet is like opening your mouth to express your opinions - unnecessarily…
Nobody would even know that you are an idiot - now it's too late !!!
***************
A series made in 1980, upon permission granted by Pomeranian Medical Academy.
It was truly unlimited access permission and I was more than happy to leave a part of my heart in there as well as a pile of photographs to be displayed within the facilities of the Academy for the next few years.
The permission was an award for winning one of the photographic competitions in the city of Szczecin, Poland.
My stay at the hospital totaled ab. 12 hours, within two days. Only 30% of the negatives survived my defection from communist (back then) Poland.
About 15 photographs were uploaded to TE within three years period (only those compatible with the TOS regulations - that is)
All of them were deleted from TE by moderator on Dec. 14 2008, never to be re-activated (so far).

To jest poznawanie nowego czlowieka. Oni sie poznaja, oni ucza sie siebie rozpoznawac, i to jest piekne. Piekny jest tez cycuszek, wielki jak 1/3 glowy dzidziusia ;))). Madonna à la Polonaise, polonezowa klasyka.
Dzieki za emocje.
