I never tire of photographing the University of Wroclaw. While some universities look sterile and institutional, the University of Wroclaw is nothing like that; it doesn’t look like a place of lecture halls and library fines. It has the slightly magical quality of a stage set that pale, ornamented façade, the tower, the rows of […]

Roughly forty-five meters up and with the legs of my tripod braced uneasily against a stone ledge never intended for such undertakings, I take one of my favorite shots of Wroclaw. Below me, the market square spreads outward with its collection of characteristic red rooftops. I am positioned along the thin stone footbridge that connects […]

Many of my trips were filled with cherished memories of exploring this beautiful city together. One December visit, just before Christmas, was particularly magical. Festive ornaments decorated the bridge, creating a warm holiday ambiance. […]

Cathedral Island, located in the middle of Wrocław, Poland, is a scenic enclave of historical significance. This revered area holds a strong emotional connection for me as it was one of my earliest photographic subjects. I have had numerous excursions to Wrocław years ago, when my interest in photography began, spurred by my partner Daria’s studies […]
