The name of this blog is "digital_sessions". This is the title of my first compact photography book published by DAAB gmbh (Koln, Germany) in 2005. I want to express my deepest respect and admiration for Ralf DAAB, the founder and owner of DAAB Publishing. Ralf found the title of the book and I think it is a good line not only for the book, but also extended to my whole creation. He believed more than me in the potential success of "digital_sessions" and he was right. My book was sold all over the world. I think the most important thing is that peoples from different cultural areas decided to take the book home. This means Ralf was right: my images are telling the right stories. And I am more than content that my artistic message passed different cultural frontiers reaching so many peoples.

I create images. I think it doesn't matter what the camera is capturing in a certain moment. The only important thing is what the artist decides to show in the end - what IMAGE of the initial IMAGE. The artist is showing A MEMORY of the image created before.

There are things that can be captured in images. And there are things that can be expressed only in words. I do both.
I found that is very hard to choose the first image for this blog. I have many on-going image projects, but in the end I decided to start with a certain portrait. It was shot in the autumn of 2005 and it is called "Lolita". I discovered her when she was only 14 and a half, in the summer of 2004 at seaside. Since then I captured her special beauty every year. And I will do so until she will be 20 - when her "teenager time" will be over...
I will finish my first post in this blog by quoting a character - "The Professor" - played by American actor Richard Farnsworth in Sydney Pollack's movie Havana. He is telling Robert Redford: "Woman is THE BEST. Everything else is bullshit". And I think he is right.I found that is very hard to choose the first image for this blog.
