six steps above light

It is very difficult to find your half. A person who will ideally fill life and space around, which will be an equal step to follow dreams, reach for the clouds. A person who will share life, passion, open eyes on things that we often do not notice.
You found me and I found You. We are Together.
We have our Home and we have our Worlds. We have us.
Thank you, for Being with me.
I Love You.
You are the Love of my life.

Harbour with Fuji X-pro2

Thanks to my beloved Alicja, I started the adventure with Fuji X-pro2. I use lenses from my Pentax K-1 (Voigtländer SLII – 20, 40 and 58mm, Pentax smc DA * 60-250 mm f / 4.0 ED [IF] SDM), additionally Nikon AF 50mm f / 1.8 with FX Kipon Tilt & shift adapter  and Canon FD 85mm f / 1.8 SSC lens. I love this small and handy camera maintained in Leica design. Soon more pictures – still short trip around the harbor in Aberdeen.

As an addition, a few photos from the streets of Aberdeen.

| a man goes to sea for many reasons. perhaps to sense it’s beauty and stare at the infinite horizon that offers no questions, and seeks no answers. but there are also those who go to sea ultimately because they are lost, and never want to be found |

Crónicas Portuarias II

A port is a delightful place of rest for a soul weary of life’s battles. The vastness of the sky, the mobile architecture of the clouds, the changing coloration of the sea, the twinkling of the lights, are a prism marvelously fit to amuse the eyes without ever tiring them. The slender shapes of the ships with their complicated rigging, to which the surge lends harmonious oscillations, serve to sustain within the soul the taste for rhythm and beauty. Also, and above all, for the man who no longer possesses either curiosity or ambition, there is a kind of mysterious and aristocratic pleasure in contemplating, while lying on the belvedere or resting his elbows on the jetty-head, all these movements of men who are leaving and men who are returning, of those who still have the strength to will, the desire to travel or to enrich themselves.

“The Port” by Charles Baudelaire

Miłość

O nieba płynnych pogód,
o ptaki, o natchnienia.
Nie wydeptana ziemia,
nie wyśpiewane Bogu
te drzewa, te kaskady
iskier, ten oddech nieba,
w ramionach jak w kolebach
zamknięty. Jak cokoły
drzewa z szumem na poły;
serca jak dzbany łaski,
takie serca jak gwiazdki,
takie oczu obłoki,
taki lot – za wysoki.
Słońce, słońce w ramionach
czy twego ciała kryształ
pełen owoców białych,
gdzie zdrój zielony tryska,
gdzie oczy miękkie w mroku
tak pół mnie, a pół Bogu.
Twych kroków korowody
w urojonych alejach,
twe odbicia u wody
jak w pragnieniach, w nadziejach.
Twoje usta u źródeł
to syte, to znów głodne,
i twój śmiech, i płakanie
nie odpłynie, zostanie.
Uniosę je, przeniosę
jak ramionami – głosem,
w czas daleki, wysoko,
w obcowanie obłokom.

K.K. Baczyński
8 IX 42 r.

Low tide

These wet rocks where the tide has been,
Barnacled white and weeded brown
And slimed beneath to a beautiful green,
These wet rocks where the tide went down
Will show again when the tide is high
Faint and perilous, far from shore,
No place to dream, but a place to die,—
The bottom of the sea once more.
There was a child that wandered through
A giant’s empty house all day,—
House full of wonderful things and new,
But no fit place for a child to play.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

I Love the Smell of the Sea

A lot of steps around Aberdeen harbour. I love the smell of the sea.
I love the stories of silent ships. Rustle rusting rust from rusty anchors.

Fog

The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

Nuart Aberdeen

One of the great artists sharing their creativity in the Aberdeen urban space at this year’s Nuart Festival / Aberdeen – Julien De Casabianca (FR) :

“Julien de Casabianca is a visual artist, filmmaker and founder of the Outings Project – a global participatory art project that embellishes the streets with portraits taken from classical paintings.

What began as a prank upon seeing Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres’s portrait of Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière at the Louvre (“I wanted to help her get out, like Prince Charming trying to rescue the girl in the museum castle” says de Casabianca) has evolved into a full-time mission to merge the perceptions of canonical and street art, while punctuating neglected spaces with images of beauty.

Each individual appears as if liberated from their museum setting, thus highlighting the strategies employed by street artists in the democratization of art and questioning of the received authority of traditional institutions.”
