[EN] A lot of water nymphs in the photos lately, huh? But hey — that’s just one of nature’s eternal laws. When you’re shooting outdoors by the water, half the session ends up in the water. And since I’m editing everything slowly and calmly, for now I’ve only got these kinds of shots. Patience, my friends.

Meanwhile — the school year is over. And… vacation time! Finally. I’m really happy — I’ve been waiting for this like a kid waits for their first ice cream. Now it’s time to recharge, capture some moments, and be offline whenever possible.

Cheers!

[PL] Sporo ostatnio rusałek na zdjęciach, nie? No ale cóż – takie są odwieczne prawa natury. Jak się robi plener nad wodą, to połowa sesji ląduje w wodzie. A że obrabiam wszystko powoli i na spokojnie, to na razie mam tylko takie ujęcia. Cierpliwości.

Tymczasem ja już po zakończeniu roku. I… urlop! W końcu. Bardzo się cieszę – czekałem na niego jak dziecko na pierwsze lody. Teraz czas na regenerację, łapanie kadrów i bycie offline, kiedy tylko się da.

In our increasingly connected world, it's hard to imagine a life without the internet. We rely on it for work, entertainment, and communication with our loved ones. But have you ever considered the beauty of living without internet?

As someone who recently spent a week without internet due to a power outage, I discovered that there are many benefits to disconnecting from the digital world. Here are just a few:

Increased Focus and Productivity: Without the constant barrage of notifications and distractions from social media and email, I was able to focus more fully on the task at hand. I found myself being more productive and efficient with my time.

Enhanced Creativity: With no internet to distract me, I was forced to find other ways to entertain myself. I spent more time reading, writing, and drawing, which sparked my creativity and imagination.

More Meaningful Connections: While I couldn't communicate with my friends and family online, I was able to connect with them in more meaningful ways. We played board games, had deep conversations, and enjoyed each other's company without the constant interruption of phones and computers.

Appreciation for Simple Things: Without the convenience of online shopping, I had to find other ways to meet my needs. I visited local stores and markets, interacted with people in my community, and learned to appreciate the simple pleasures in life.

Of course, living without internet isn't without its challenges. It can be difficult to navigate in a world that's so dependent on technology. But for me, the benefits of disconnecting far outweighed the drawbacks.
