Katowice is no paradise in the ordinary sense—unless you're a big fan of Polish mining towns with gray skies, crumbling walls, and abandoned buildings. Those who were born and raised here, like me, come to either love it or hate it. But for the outsiders who pass through and the precious few who come to stay, this city reveals itself as a place with an odd, surreal beauty.As a photographer, I try to capture the rhythms of everyday life in this place from every angle—the mundane as well as the extraordinary.
