https://jerzy-czyz.pixels.com/ I am photographer, and computer artist. Born in Krakow, beautifull city in Poland. I was about 12 years old, when I start draw hyper realistic drawings with pencil and paint a little. Few years later I bought my first pro camera, and sent one of first pictures taken to the national photo contest ... and won first prize. Picture was published on the front cover of photo magazine. In my later years quite unexpectedly I came to US, and became pro photographer. Cancer stoped me from continuing work 12 years ago. Many years ago I started picture transformations and "paint" on the computer. This is briefly my life. Thank you for reading about me ... and I hope you enjoy my work. Comments greatly appreciated.
