If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day ;-)) Elwyn Brooks White surnamed Andy

Two things fill the heart with ever new and growing admiration and veneration as reflection attaches itself to them and applies to them: the starry sky above me and the moral law within me. These two things, I need not seek and conjecture as if they were shrouded in darkness or placed in a transcendent region outside my horizon; I see them in front of me and immediately connect them to the consciousness of my existence. Emmanuel Kant

There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there is nothing left to do, and nothing else to pursue.

Robert Frank said, “The eye should learn to listen before it looks.” Clearly, Karol's images are the product of a great listener and a lifetime of passion. In my humble opinion, this is what photography is all about. Thank you for sharing these wonderful images!

Your photos - if we can say so - have a soul, their delicacy affects the eye and above all the heart. Congratulations Karol for the great photographic sensitivity, far from common, with which, through the image, you are able to transmit and share your feelings and emotions with others!

Karol is a challenging photographer to write about. He is one of that rare breed of photographers who have enough raw talent for any ten photographers, a vast wealth of photographic and other knowledge, decades of real-world experience, and a heartfelt compassion for his human and animal subjects, all of which is immediately evident in his work. He is here because he loves photography, yes, but he is also here to share his wealth of knowledge. You can see this in his carefully considered, well-written, and concise critiques that always go above and beyond. He never puts your work down but gently, subtly, and with humility hints at real ways to improve. This is not to say that his comments are all critical. To the contrary, he more often celebrates good work as if it were his own. The only criticism I have of Karol is that he lives far away across the Atlantic from me, but it is not hard to imagine sharing a bottle of good wine with him and comparing notes on life, the universe, and everything late into the night. Maybe someday!

L'Universel est semble t'il dans tous les êtres, mais certains ont reçu un coup de baguette magique, un Pete au casque, pour que la lumière puisse passer... se transmettre à travers tout ce qu'il s'émerveille à regarder. j'aime beaucoup le message de Charles, il en dit long sur le personnage que vous êtes. merci d'être celui que vous êtes. Si Dieu existe, il se cache dans le détails et non le diable.

coxy, halo, you were and still are one of the very few best friends I have.. 50 years is a long time, we should be celebrating..! nevertheless you are a walking encyclopedia and a master photographer. I've seen you at work in your home-made lab (back in the 80's) and I can say that your sense of perfection is quiet unnerving..! whether you're using a Leica, Hasselblad or a Sinar makes it look like a childish game toying with such complicated devices.. you cannot accept the least error and you put all your efforts in order to achieve a perfect result that you can barely accept.. always seeking for the best !... your versatility makes you someone very special and your sense of detail brings you close to where others can never be ! and I know what I am talking about. your love to the old school, masters like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray, Philippe Halsman , Ansel Adams etc talks a lot about your talent, making you an astonishing phenomenon..! people who never met you will never know you is what I am trying to say... a dedicated stubborn humble man, photographer and a life lover who will never accept nothing but perfection. thank you for what you is, sincerely, dear old friend. thank you Flickr for bringing us closer.
