Busy days

I have been quite busy with my work, which is why I have not been active much here recently. To be honest it was not only work, which kept me away from writing blogs and sharing photos. I also spent very nice time with my parents who came to visit us to Geneva. Regarding photography, I have been mainly thinking about my current and future projects and of course I have spent some time in darkroom. I have almost finished my next silver print offer for November. This time it takes me bit longer than I expected, since I have to do some spotting in the final picture, nothing major just few small dots, but I have to say spotting is art on its own and I have already wasted few prints.

I am also working on my portfolio from Iceland, since Marek and I will have an exhibition here in Geneva latter next year. My goal for this exhibition is to show mainly silver gelatin prints. I still do not know how many photographs we will have to put together, but I already have at least 15 candidates to take with me to darkroom. It does not sound like hell lot, but with my speed it will be quite challenging task to get them all ready on time.

Finely, I would also like to share the great news, that my photographs have been awarded two Honorable Mentions at 2013 International Photography Awards and I also got two Nominations at this year’s Black and White Spider Awards. Both of these competitions are very prestigious and widely attended by photographers from all over the world, therefore I am very happy for these achievements.
