I haven’t been this excited about a photographer in a while. I stumbled onto Polish-photographer Michel Sadowski‘s work and couldn’t believe he’d never been published.His photos are completely original, existing outside of current photography trends. I would describe them as observational, existential, sad and funny. Michel is like a spy, shooting people from his car window, observing someone else’s’ private time. What are all these people up to? We published his work in issue 12, some taken from his self-published photo book “20km entre Bruxelles et Louvain.” -CM
