Even an empty landscape is full of vague presences for me, actually a landscape cannot be empty, it always takes form. When I face the space, I am in it at the same time, and when I am left alone with it, being like a medium, I sense a gentle vibration, it is emptiness.

The photos that make up the publication "White and Red" come from about 200 trips throughout...
On the memorable January 8, 1959, Fidel triumphantly entered Havana. He had won his "revolutión." I didn't get to talk to him the first time, but I did manage to exchange a few words with Raul Castro, Fidel's brother. Raul told me that in the city of Camaguey they would be trying and dismembering counter-revolutionaries and would I be willing to witness these events? Very politely...
Photography in itself is never the end. Photography captures the one-of-a-kind "Here and Now," because, after all, the second before the photo is taken and the second after the photo is taken, the world is completely different. It does not end, whether it is reflected on paper or already beyond the sight of man. It continues even without our knowledge. That's why photography, especially photography....

One day I opened my eyes wide and saw that the world I knew and co-created was completely destroyed. The values, feelings and beliefs that were most important to me had completely disintegrated. I fell into a deep sleep where nothing made sense. All my life I thought that such situations could happen to anyone but me. I was wrong." When on...

We received very interesting material, which we found not only beautiful, but also extremely poignant in terms of meaning. The thought illustrated by these photographs provokes reflection, demands a revision of previous views on the beauty of nature and the human body.

I open the hotel door and the first thing that hits me is the solitude of the colors. Then there is silence, in which light subtly walks. It attracts my bewildered gaze, leads me discreetly, invites me to explore a world unknown to me. I turn the page, as if opening another door of another world written in light and silent colors. The more I discover, the faster I disappear; I disappear as a passive observer, as a human being,....
