Festa Major Sitges 2010

written by Keith Grafton:
"Each year at the end of August the town goes mad, and this is a place that many think had long lost any form of sanity. Festa Major grips the town!!. Giant status parade through the narrow streets, bands play from early morning to noon and into the night. The whole thing apparently is to celebrate the t...own’s history and the fight of good against evil.
But be warned the devils make a significant impact on the whole proceedings. With a dragon and an eagle breathing fire and smoke, fireworks exploding all around. All the locals come well prepared with hats and glasses, the shop keepers board up their shop fronts just before each parade, this is serious business. These fireworks are not for the meek or faint hearted, and the streets are narrow. A day at Festa Major will leave its marks on your jeans and T-shirts, so be prepared.
The celebration is topped off by one of the biggest beach firework displays in the whole of Spain. 11:00 at night the beach is packed to capacity, to witness 45 minutes and 1 Million Euros worth of fireworks. The town looks like its set on fire and the whole display is something to marvel at "

August Wedding

August is the best month for a wedding in Warsaw. With almost :) reliable weather, the city reveals all it's charm of lush greens, outdoor beer gardens and hundreds of Varsovians casually walking along Krakowskie Przedmiescie. Sylwia & Simon got married on one of those wonderful sunny days. As a spot for a photo shoot the Bride picked one of Warsaw's bridges connecting both banks of Wisla river - Gdanski Bride. The lower part is used only by trains and has quite a unique character.

Gay Pride Parade Sitges 2010

This is my humble attempt of a reportage from the very first Gay Pride Parade held in Sitges this July. Again all is taken with Nikkor 50 mm. The entire set will soon be uploaded to flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/38034386@N02/

Polish Wedding

Traditional Polish wedding of lovely couple Agnieszka and Sebastian took place last month in Moscibrody - classical manor house set in traditional polish landscape. As many of you know, polish weddings go not for hours but for days and are are very lively celebration of love, wedding traditions & customs, family and friendship. Vividly helped by uncountable amount of consumed alcohol :)

Into the Sports?

Since the purchase I am shooting EVERYTHING with my 50 mm/1.8 Nikkor. I am totally sure it is not appropriate for shooting sports events, but hell, why not?! I do not own better lens. So here is the result. Last week's game Sitges vs Corbera. Hopefully boys like it, they are all single and potential clients for wedding reportages in few years :)))
