2009 !, a photo from Zachodniopomorskie, West

Photographer's Note

The NEW just came�

Will The NEW be good for us ?

Hopefully, not too good�
We, the people� We have to have our goals�Right ?

My prayer�
Good God�
Leave the evil on earth, please� Let us be busy fighting it or at least, let us have the illusion that we're fighting it �
Keep us occupied with complaining and jumping to each other throats out for compassion, out of our zest for life, out of being better than they, out of humanity in our hearts and out of lust for blood in our brains�

Let the 2009 to be not a bit less exciting than 2008�and 2007�and 2006�and �

��.

A series made in 1980, upon permission granted by Pomeranian Medical Academy.
It was truly unlimited permission and I was more than happy to leave a part of my heart in there as well as a pile of photographs to be displayed within the facilities of the Academy for the next few years.

The permission was an award for winning one of the photographic competitions in the city of Szczecin, Poland.
My stay at the hospital totaled ab. 12 hours, within two days. Only 30% of the negatives survived my defection from communist (back then) Poland.
About 15 photographs were uploaded to TE within three years period (only those compatible with the TOS regulations)
All of them were deleted from TE by moderator on Dec. 14 2008 never to be re-activated (so far).

Yes, Yes, Yes !!!
New year is born, Polonaise is resusutaded !

Ja uze tu pisala krytyku (slycham ruska Wysockiego, nie dziw sie wiec mojej ortografii)) ;)))

Ale uderzyles...
Niech Cie...
Nowy Pan, Nowy Swiat...
PIekne, mocne, wzruszajace...
Cos mi tam serce w piersi mocno wali, gdy to widze.

No i wrociles, najwyzszy czas, bo Grażka zaczyna psocic w swojej galerii ;). Trzeba bedzie tera uwazac na to, co sie wstawia ;).

Pozdrowka i wsiewo haroszewo.
-----

To napisalam wtedy. Ze trzeba uwazac, na co sie wstawia (bo moga wywalic).
Ze Grazka robi glupoty (i znowoz to robi, bo Ciebie nie bylo).

Wiec wszystko nadal jest prawda !!! Mozna wyjeb6666 za nic, i mozna robic byle gow666 gdy nie ma pana...Z Ojca Goriot : Gdy kota nie ma w domu, myszy buszuja !!!

Piekne, piekne, piekne, ja bym chciala tak w szpitalach robic, ale tam trzeba tera miec specjalne pozwolenia...i trwa to miesiace...kazdy dzieciak, teraz przy wpisie, musi miec wpisane przez rodzicow, czy moze czy nie byc fotografowany. Wyobraz sobie, ze musialam to podpisac, i oczywiscie, powiedzialam "tak, moze". Bo jak nie beda biali fociani, to za 1000 lat ludzie powiedza, ze na Ziemi zyli tylko Hindusi i Murzyni z czarnej Afryki...

Piekna emocja, Jurku....

Sciskam po winku...G.

Would you believe me if I told you I dreamed I had a baby last night? Me, who has no babies, wants no babies. I do that sometimes.

Welcome back. Happy new year. Looks like you will be using up more bandwidth than normal....:)

This is what I call a return with a strong impact. I wish you a very good 2009, much better than the end of 2008!!! It really is a great photo.
All the best for 2009.

Witaj !
No cudnie ! Narodzilo sie nowe. Czy lepsze? Czy tak samo wredne jak 2008 ?
Kto to wie. Istotne, ze jest taki prog na ktorym kazdy choc na sekunde sie zatrzymuje i patrzy z dystansem na przyszlosc.

Wszystkiego !!

Cześć Jurek!
No...zgadzam się z Grażyną co do wystawiania...:))))
Nie ma to jak być osiołkiem i mieć marchewkę :)

Wiesz, to zdjęcie przypomniało mi jak urodziłam moją ccię i podobnie ją zobaczyłam, małą rozdartą, brudną, rozczochraną jak nieboskie stworzenie, ale tak piękną dla mnie ze się rozbeczałam ze szczęścia...:)))

Piękne.
Dzięki.

"Amen.
Niby niewinnie i dziecinnie, a przecież wierzgająco i z jajem się ten Rok zaczyna u naszego Poloneza. Nieźle sie zapowiada :))) - z pewnością wyrośnie ten Roczek na żwawego staruszka z ikrą jak przyjdzie kolejna zmiana warty. A co przedtem da nam popalić... ;))) No i dobrze - jak skakać to na głęboką wodę, jak spadać to z wysokiego konia.
Serdeczności i najlepszości samych w Nowym Roku życzę T."

I teraz się pod tym podpisuje i życzy na ten Nowt Rok wszystkiego najlepszego a nawet lepiej :))

Jurku ! Strasznei jestem ucieszona, że Cię zn tutaj widzę i że wracasz i że przywracasz, co nie tylko Tobie, ale i nam odebrano, ku naszej wielkiej zgrozie.

Serdeczności i noworoczki T.

Alive and kicking, (like you!) in the Family of Men....Welcome ! :-).

A wonderful series, I am so happy to see it again...even if bit by bit.
Fantastic that you kept so much stuff from the original posts.

Great note...goes deep down.

hi George,

Happy new year .. It is the drops of blood? on his stomach against the bright light there that really draws me .. a bit of honesty in a plastic world ..

keep them coming like a phoenix .. we all need to see them ..

take care,

John

I love this as much as before ! Each pixel : "grain" of it...

Splendid - a classic - it's so full of promises, so symbolical... birth is so vividly depicted, I hear this baby boy screaming out loud !

In your note, you pray and hope that 2009 will be as exciting and full of emotions as 2008 and the years before ;

Instead, I wish that you'll now be able to keep all your photos on this site, no more photo(s) deleted and that if you are still kicking like this baby which is great with your funny remarks and sarcasm, there won't be too many nasty and destructive, bruising arguments - and specially, that the censors will be able to understand what you exactly mean !!!

I come into 2009 with a new grandson and I can tell you that the smell and feel of new babies as of new puppies is elemental.I smell and feel here.

S�, George, s�. A new year. A new life. Oh, if this photo is deep and clever. But you are so. Oh, but you are George! The wonderful George...

Hi George,
You know how to touch people. I love those little noisy things!
Not only your noisy picture of this little male :o)
Cheers

"You know, it's as though people have made an agreement to lie about it and have lied about it ever since. They all declare that they hate evil, but secretly they all love it." Liza in The Brothers Karamazov
My prayer...
Good God... Help us to realize that evil is not out but in...
Now, lets stop being pseudo-philosophical and let me wish you a great 2008 year for you and your family.
Your photo? Oh! It's a boy!!! :)))) It is flesh and blood and moving and crying (noisy and grainy! ;))
Welcome back Mister Polonaise!

Straight out of his/her mother's womb, still covered in
blood... what a dramatic way to enter yet another new
year...
Very gritty. Very true.
