Zdzisław. A Nissan Patrol with a roof tent - that is the calling card.
Not young anymore, a fair share of roads behind me. Tents go back to scouting, mountains to the Bieszczady. I've been running the same electronics company for 26 years. I travel with my wife, with friends, sometimes alone. Usually in a vehicle with a roof tent on top, but not always.
For more than a decade the photos went wherever they could: Google Photos, Facebook, Flickr. Convenient for a moment, less and less worth the effort. This site exists to gather the archive in one place and describe it the way it should be described.
I photograph what I see: animals, rock, empty roads, skies free of streetlights, faces - from ethnographic portraits to nude studies. No single category, no single aesthetic. Astrophotography is a separate axis: a dark sky is often the deciding factor when choosing where to spend a night.
Most trips are self-drive 4x4 - our own car or a rented off-roader, no guide, no operator. Mountains come up most often - not out of aesthetic preference, but out of the logic of access: the harder the approach road, the fewer people make it there. The road demands a decision; on site, almost no one. We skip tourist destinations as a rule, usually not worth the queue.
The journal entries are facts about a place, observations from the road. Not guides, not reviews. The archive fills in backwards; trips from years back are only landing here now.
The archive is decades old. The site - a few days.
