Slovak border crossing with Ukraine blocked as wider truck protest looms. (As titled, by @reuters) I went to check nearby. Loaded a roll of film and sat into a car. A dozens trucks on the highway at standstill. Unusual sight near Durdosik village. About the war, what else can I do. I also have friends there. Or had. War affects everything around, everybody and everywhere. It is a shame of human race.

Yes, I have song played in a car, of course. Pygmy Lush - It's A Good Day To Hide It is sort of, sad. As my thoughts there.

Someone wise once said, that a car gives you some sense of freedom. And the camera, the meaning. People who know me well, understand, I have not much to say, usually. It can be also very annoying, sometimes. I like to drive alone, thinking about possible passenger next to me once.

The Road Trip Diary 2023

It is all about a song playing while I pressed the button, as that's the only I do. So - Still Corners - Far Rider (long) play it now.

I shoot 24 frames 35mm Ilford HP5+ usually.

I do notes, mostly.

It is boring, mostly.

I like to take notes.

Mostly.

There is nothing better, than little road trip with 3 rolls of film.

Essay for a seasonal workers (part.1)

Short term 

Scotland, UK 2017

I was always thinking about myself as a worker of some kind.I was always living in the past, when they wore blue overalls.Back then. And now. Even I don't know why and how. I ran towards them. Stayed for a while. For a little talks and tired evening walks. With half broken camera and very few rolls of film. Of course, I never took it when I should. My agony of the repetiton. I am scared when I asked you, what are doing in real life. As scared, as you were.
