The author chose for his basic file a name "On the
road", the title of famous novel of Jack Kerouac, from one simple reason –
everything what he tells us with his photographs is also proof of a long
journey. He has travelled around Europe, from south to north. Greece, poor but
colourful Calabria, Czech villages in Romania, and than to the north: Lithuania,
Latvia and Estonia, where nowadays after fall of comunism is better to forget
Russian. And the secret of his photos? It lies in a deep understanding of
generally conceived humanity, expressing the society and her activities,
regardless of origin or temperament of actors, cultural differences or different
languages, reminiscent of the construction of the Tower of Babel...
