Irena can look at exactly the same things we do and, in capturing them, can somehow manage to always show us something we wouldn't have seen without her help.

Irena's world seems to be highlighted by color and chance, and the energy of her creative imagination and considerable artistic talent can be felt in the viewing of her photographs. I love the way she sees things. Not to mention, her cat is one profound feline muse.
