It's that time of year again... no not football, not Thanksgiving turkey or even post-Thanksgiving diet time. It's the Month of Photography in Bratislava. Every November (this is the 17th year now) practically every gallery, museum, and available space is displaying excellent works of photography from around the world. Last year I swore I would visit a few shows and unfortunately it didn't happen. This year I got smart and bought the program. Now armed with my guide to the best of the best I'm making the rounds.
The first exhibition I saw was the Pawel Zak, a Polish artist (one of the free shows). He had some very interesting photos with great lighting, soft focus and astounding printing. I particularly liked his picture of a snail that had motion blur. Who would think to make a snail look like he is speeding across the frame... and do it in such a natural and artistic way?
Anyways, if you are in Bratislava take time to check out a show or two.
