I think I've had this guy as a waiter on several occasions.

Michal, once again, you've given us a number of provocative images.

Let's see. Where to start?

This isn't going to be a this-is-my-favourite kind of review -- but more of a what-did-I-think-when-I-first-looked-at-this commentary. <g>

The illustrated body -- one illustration running into the next over flesh and fabric. Blurs the boundary between ornamentation and sense of self.

A bizarre but compelling composition. There's something that both repels and fascinates me about this image. Very odd.

Put this face onto the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and who might we be looking at? A prophet? An archangel? God? Is he shouting that the End of Time is upon us? Kind of terrifying in his own way -- although, then again, perhaps he's yelling, "Give peace a chance!" -- but somehow I don't think so. <g>

These sleepers. They are off somewhere else. We ceased to exist when they closed their eyes. The second one reminds me of one of the Sleeping Satyr sculptures from antiquity, Sleeping on through all of time. Let them sleep and leave them to their peace for awhile.

Great group of fotos, Michal.

Wow, Michal! What a wonderful collection!

The "Beautiful" one is so obviously comparable to Bourke-White's soup line beneath the "American Way" sign that its obviousness is what makes it work.

The woman on the cell phone who is oblivious to the lovers behind her is so reminiscent of our cell phone society.

The King, like Humpty Dumpty, had a great fall. Gotta love it!

The backlit torn flag is simply beautiful.

I love the contrast of the rectangular light source casting circular light.

"In Living Steroo" is just TOO funny.

Michal....

I'm late to the party...
BUT, your new snaps are fantastic. This page stands alone as a composition:

If your book comes about, I like this group form of presentation. It gives the viewer insights into your thoughts during that outing. I feel that we got to walk the streets with you while you explored hands, limbs, line, touch, etc..

good stuff.
