I am scanning my work from Poland. ‘Here I am (Autobiography)’ [working title] was out there for quite some time in the form of various exhibitions, but to me, it will never be finished until it becomes a book. It was always meant to be a book. This is what I am working towards. I am trying to scan at least one negative a day. I am trying to make a habit out of it.

Another thing on my mind is social media. I am becoming tired of the time stealing, the money grabbing, the motivation snatching, and the mind erasing aspects of it. In fact, I am not becoming tired… I AM TIRED of it already.

I am also addicted to sharing my images online. 

When I was starting to take photos in the early 2000s my sister introduced me to blogging. My first photoblog was called Benzino (my nickname was Beny, Benzino was an American rapper, and his nickname became my album reviewer nickname during my collaboration with a hip hop zine Playa, of which I have also become a photographer, and from there it became the title of my blog). Anyway. Benzino allowed me to share my images with people. It turned out that some people liked them. Benzino is responsible for that sharing need I mentioned above. Sharing images online was always a part of my photographic practice, long before I got my first digital camera (not to mention a ‘smart’ phone).

So here is the idea. Why not focus that posting urge to update the blog on my website instead of sharing on Instagram? Yes, the audience will shrink drastically, but maybe it will be the audience that really appreciates my work? Besides, if I was totally honest, photography is with me, because I have to do it one way or another, for myself. It is not going anywhere. It helps me. When I am at my lowest it helps me to rise again. 

This is it. A possibility of a personal change. A change of approach. For better or for worst.

Ps. I will not dramatically delete my accounts, but use them differently, at least for now.
