Lodz, Poland, East Street Festival (Święto Ulicy Wschodniej). One of the photos of a photo reportage I did during the East Street Festival in Lodz. East Street (ul. Wschodnia, Oststrasse) used to be one of the richest and representative streets in the strict city centre of Lodz (it is the nearest neighbour of Piotrkowska Street - the main street). Inhabited mostly by the Jewish community (there was a prayer house in almost every yard) the East Street is the example of the collapse of the wealth of Lodz and its multicultural social pattern. After the 2nd World War (most of the Jews were sent to Auschwitz and Kulmhof death camps) and 1958 (rest of the Jewish population was forced to leave Poland by communist regime), almost empty street become one of the most dirty, dangerous and ugly parts of the city. Today, there is a group of young people who try to activate their neighbourhood (especially kids from the grey and dirty yards). More photos to come. Camera: Samsung GX10, lens: Schneider Kreuznach 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO DG MACRO.

The last part of the wedding gallery of Remo and Kitty. I wanted to take the wedding portrait photo, but I wanted to have extraordinary one instead of the typical two faces smiling and looking straight into the camera or into their eyes. In my opinion this photo is the best I took during that session and the best photo of people I have taken so far. It is dynamic, both persons and bouquet are in move and the central bouquet is connecting left and right part of the photo (Remo and Kitty). And what is the most important, both of them are smiling and the smile is not a pose. Camera: Konica Minolta A1 DiMage
