Photo festivals tend to keep you pretty busy, with meeting and talking to other photographers, but I like to find time to take a few pictures too. While I was in Bielsko-Biala last a just over a week ago for the 2007 FotoArtFestival<\/strong> , I kept a diary<\/a>, and took some pictures both of the place and of the festival to illustrate it.<\/p>\n

I’ve had to censor the diary a little for publication, and get rid of the libellous remarks and wilder thoughts, but I hope there are still a few controversial passages. You can read what I really thought about some of the shows, and see a little of what photographers get up to at such events.<\/p>\n


\nOn my way to the theatre in Bielsko-Biala<\/em><\/p>\n


\nFriday lunchtime – I was sitting next to Joan Fontcuberta and Sarah Moon<\/em><\/p>\n


\nEarly on Saturday morning in a smoky Gallery Wzgorge<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve not finished the diary – still some material from the final day of the ‘Maraton’<\/em>, the final party and a couple of pieces on some of the shows to add. Then there is my own presentation, the final session in the Maraton, and I also intend to put the text and some of the pictures of it on line as well (copyright issues mean I cannot use them all – but wherever possible I’ll link to the same or similar images.)<\/p>\n

All the pictures I made in Poland were using a Fuji Finepix F31fd. Would I buy one again? Probably not, but some of them aren’t bad. But not having a viewfinder is still a pain.
