I have never met a person with more vivid imagination than Leo. He lives in a magic world build of his own stories. He sees things he talks about, he feels them. He is a storyteller who starts new story the moment he wakes up and finishes when he falls asleep. He has passion for life that stretches far beyond boring reality. And she love his stories. She follows him and rides along on the huge waves of his imagination. They fit perfectly. And I get to be the observer, the silent witness of this beautiful relationship of these two amazing souls. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAn2LyUnWCp/?igshid=z16swe768c95

I am holding onto these days as to a precious treasure I never want to let go. Yesterday in the evening the silence I got so used to was distracted by the sound of airplane. First one in over two months. I never before realized how loud it was. The deeper I dive into everyday, into love and exhaustion, into present and future, into giving hugs and kissing salty tears from soft cheeks, into hours of picking up clothes from the floor and cleaning mess after constant crafting the less I feel the need to share anything. Just taking it all day by day. Literally thanking every morning to wake up to into new one. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAa9jAFH37H/?igshid=4cuxgiif1lrz

Life is short, the art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult. Hippocrates Today was a good day. Bart and I in the car, just the two of us. Driving through stormy countryside. There was nothing to distract my views, just trees, old stone houses, heavy clouds, curvy roads and sea. We talked a lot. Not about Covid, not about kids, not about money problems, not about insecurity of the future. We stopped on the gas station and ate snacks in the car looking at deformed people’s faces through raindrops on the window. I named some things that were heavy on me, got to speak aloud about the conflict I have with photography in the past months, about desire of translation of some subjects into adequate visual forms, about the need of contact to materials, about waves and sea and passion. The nature around us was so abundant, green, so healthy and iconic. And I felt good.

Silence is so rich. So beautifully promising. It’s full of peace and hope. It gives us mental space and protection. Silence sounds best when surrounded by abundance of nature. Silence is great gift we can give to our kids and to ourselves. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_mi-8WHChK/?igshid=x7dwwbm2k679

Life is so full these days. I am with my family like I have not been in years. My kids are with my family like they have never been. I see the change in relationships between all of us. I got to learn something about our way of life, got to take completely new look on our future and plans. I have time to rethink scenarios that would not come to my mind normally. I feel calmer but also confused. Very confused. Things I took for set and unchangeable are not valid anymore and I have to find new ways around them. But overall this is a good time. A very good time https://www.instagram.com/p/B_h1vlLHHU6/?igshid=1xylyn8qmr68a

Kiedyś pisałam o tym ze w pierwszych 6 miesiącach 2020 miałam wziąć udział w trzech fajnych wydarzeniach. Mój wykład na @rybnickifestiwalfotografii tak jak cały festiwal przeniósł się na jesień. Projekt „Portret osobisty, czyli bliskie spotkanie z ....” w ramach @wszyscyjestesmyfotografami tez się trochę przesuwa w czasie ale ważne ze będzie! A ja się bardzo się cieszę z zaproszenia do tego projektu. Bo dzięki @szewczykmonik udało mi się pokonać siebie i wystąpić w barze Studio gdzie paru z was spotkałam osobiście. Wiec mam mega zaufanie ze to będzie coś fajnego! Więcej szczegółów będzie dostępnych wkrótce. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_cY-yTngBB/?igshid=ktd6cp5jhzmf

The crew. I ve been spending 24/7 with two out of three of them before this chaos. So in that regard not much changed. But it’s different with Bart. Omg these weeks were tough. We are used to being together but he always had a plan, plan to go somewhere to work, to travel, to change place that kept him alive. He was a lot on the phone. Now there is no plan, no vision, of our travels nor of his jobs. He does not spend time talking on the phone, he has to be here without knowing for how long. It affected him very much and us. I was sure that THIS IS IT for us couple of times. I talked about divorce and separation. But we had to stay together even though he tried to figure out ways how to leave. He had to stay we had to stay. And maybe we finally faced things we never did before. All of it. From A to Z. We still have long way to go, but we hold on to each other. We still want to do this life together, life that is so curvy, so unpredictable, so complicated and yet so very simple. I realized how much we changed over the years, how much we grew apart because we jumped on a train that adults jump on so that one day when they can walk anymore they get off and shockingly look around where the train took them. We promised ourselves to get now before it is too late. I was looking at him today and after years I saw that Mr.B that I met 11 years ago once again, and I felt so warm, like when after long long time you come back home. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_KmDZ6Hxag/?igshid=1doycnl6sot9c

Always together. Good or bad, but always dirty and wild 😍#magicchildhood #wildandfreechildren https://www.instagram.com/p/BwAWekeltjl/?igshid=16qac0jkytvgq

Missing this place. Soon #slowliving #hyggestory https://www.instagram.com/p/BwSPAgmlqxa/?igshid=14mct00546pol

Although I am missing the sun I am so very grateful for this much needed rain. More rain please, couple of days more. #hyggestory #polskawieś #analogphoto #zwyklezycie https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxe_WV4CBuF/?igshid=rth8zcz6hr5o

My childhood did not belong to the happy ones. I don’t carry many memories from early years and only few that are somewhere close to be called joyful. I would not make it to fingers of one hand even if I tried really hard. But I had my sister and she was my closest person and we still are close even though we live in two different countries. I wish we could sit together over photos from our childhood and have a good laugh remembering all the funny situations, but that is not the thing we can do. Looking at my kids growing together, making happy memories together, loving each other and just being happy kids is something I needed in my life. Being a parent is such a responsible task. We can give the world centered, balanced adults with healthy relationships that don’t need to work on their past through out majority of their life or we can give the world confused and harmed beings. #makingmemories #happychildhood #brotherandsister #wildandfreechildren #candidchildhood https://www.instagram.com/p/BxcrvQeCSpW/?igshid=1p4ci0wcd7d3z

Not enough of this place in my reality this year. It’s already almost end of August. 2019 has been quite a ride till now. We bought a house, reconstructed it, moved again. We traveled just a little bit but my career life took a turn. Out of nowhere. Things started happening. I became first female Fuji ambassador, started writing regularly (and came to the point where I question doing it) I did photo sessions and went even further to do things I never thought I would. Life has been full and fast and beautiful and surprising. I got to meet great people that I can call friends now. I feel full of power and energy and the year is not over yet. But there is one thing I miss. This place. The feeling I have as soon as I get here, those sounds of freedom, the wind in the trees, birds and animals at night. The simplicity of life. And I know I will not be able to come here in next two months. But than, than I wish to come here and take it all In with deep deep breaths. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1TW5zuiAyt/?igshid=3m9vsjq7x3b

When they are offered traditional Japanese dinner 😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/B2jd3mJnWG1/?igshid=3c03hpbaatf4

We sit by the table in a small bar in Narita. Our last evening in Japan. We talk with Bart about prints and cameras, well he talks with full enthusiasm. Than I turn my head and I am really shocked. There is actually two beautiful humans sitting with us. The bigger they are the more I can’t believe I actually birthed them. They are for real. Is it really me, how come? Am I not that 15 years old girl that is afraid of life, most of the time, so insecure and lost. And now there they are, whole, beautiful souls, dependent on me, and I am responsible for their lives. I am here to show them world and lead them and recognize who they are and support who they are becoming. How can I do that? How did this happen Good bye Japan. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3UWB89H_J7/?igshid=1m73kvqjzq39k
