July 2010, Dzembronya village, Carpathian mountains, Ukraine.

July 2010, Dzembronya village, Carpathian mountains, Ukraine. When I was child I often drew the sun. You know, with eyes, smile and beams every which way. Then I dropped this thing and forgot how to do this. After a many years, when I started making landscape photographs, I begin to do this again. Looking at the sun, beams and make photographs about all of these. But nowadays I also need skills. Nature doesn’t like throw away its gems. It is very busy customer. You will be brought to the right place in the strictly specified time. It will be done very delicately. You will sincerely believe that you are here of you own free will. Then you will be shown something that carry you away. But you can’t simply stay and open wide your mouth. If you are selected, you have to manage in 5-10 minutes and make why you are here – photographs. And when all will disappear, you will be let to go freely. But only if you don’t have other orders for today.
June 2010. Longsheng rice terraces, Ping An Village, China. There are two main spots in Ping An’s rice terraces, but it was more interesting for me to find nearer viewpoints for “inside” photographs. One of such places was found by itself on the way to upper ground. Huge amount of lines within the frame make significant depth and you are instantly drew into the image.

And my amateur video clip from the same place.

September 2009, Yablunitsa village, Carpathian mountains, Ukraine. Fog covered the scene, penetrated every hollow, cloaked in houses and trees. It was yet very dark. Sky barely started changing from black to pink. My eyes could see very little in this semidarkness, which was more “darkness” than “semi”. And only when I made first shot I gasped with surprise. It was just any first open spot but next 30 minutes I couldn’t leave it. I appreciated every minute of these conditions and I was afraid of going away because they could disappear at the same time.
