Malina

Perhaps she is a bit too red for this world. And maybe thanks to her it’ll be more colourful. She came with spring and brough with her sense of freedom. Abandoned roads, early mornings and nights under open skies, platonic escapes from the claws of the city.

This year long and dark winter settled down upon the world…

Bath

…too many dreams I’ve seen to fall at the forefront of recession…

Crisis in UK

…choking clouds covered the colours, only darkness was left on my photographs…

Above the roofs

…I felt that this is the time to end. Put the camera down, go back and blend with the ordinary world of comfortable securities…

Bath

…I felt stuck in a black world without big dreams or little happiness…

Pain

…if I only could run away for one moment, somewhere where the sun shines, horses gallop free…

Canary Wharf

…but I’ve learned the secrets of this city and the opportunities it can offer…

London

…and so I decided in the middle of winter that with the arrival of spring, I’ll fulfill an old dream…

Teddington Lock

…suddenly, in all the confusion of this city, I began to see random sparks of hapiness…

Meeting

…I started to take pictures again…

Photomaddness

…with screaming the colours came back and with them the new spring…

G20 conference protests

…and while the city rebelled against the world…

Revolution

…I was already far away from all this…

English Countryside

…there, where the sun was shining and horses gallop free…

On the run

…I broke my piggy bank…

Spring is coming

…and exchanged it for Malina…

Malina

…brand new Vespa GTS 125cc Red Dragon…

Malina

…very quickly kilometre numbers were growing…

Malina

…the grey city world became colourful…

Malina

…and this is how the journey started.

In March 2009.
