On another unspecified social media, I joined a photography challenge called '52 flickers'. I'm supposed to take and post one photograph per week for the entirety of 2026. No archives, no backups, no spares, no descriptions - just a photo of any topic taken on a given week.

I typically shun this kind of challenges for millions of reasons, but since I take photos almost everyday, I decided to give it a shot. But to make it more interesting for myself, I decided not to use most frequent categories of photos I take, i.e. reportage or stock.

Adding a thread here for backup purposes. Always tagging as [#]52flickers2026.

Here goes 👇

So...

My photo taken on the opening day of Abotak abortion clinic has received an Honorable Mention in the Internaltional Photo 2025 competition among many others in the Editorial / Press - Contemporary Issues category.

My first industry recognition in my modest photojournalism career.

Holy shit.

👋 Hello! I’m Łukasz. Thirty-something, living in Warsaw, Poland. On fedi since 2021 or so. Right now, I'm merging my two accounts into one and giving this profile a fresh new start.

I live a few parallel lives.

Most of the time I’m a web developer. I work with TypeScript, React and all that jazz. But I still enjoy static site generators and good ol’ HTML/CSS.

In another life, I’m a documentary photographer and photojournalist. I’m interested in activism, art and culture, politics, and pretty much anything interesting happening on city streets. A big part of my photography journey involves documenting protests and demonstrations in Poland, especially those related to human rights and social issues. I’m also drawn to street art, particularly when it carries strong messages.

I occasionally blog and translate. Many years ago I wrote two books about WordPress. However, these days I’m more likely to go outside and touch grass than spend even more time in front of a screen.

Outside of that, expect me to post about mental health and politics. I promise to use CWs when appropriate.

I post in both English and Polish, depending on the topic.

Aaaand that’s it. Nice to meet you! ☺️

"Graffiti differs from war crimes (among other things) in that it is not socially acceptable"

Entrance to Politechnika metro station, Warsaw, Poland

The text from this post, written in Polish, sprayed on temporary boards used to isolate some maintenance work from crowds of people moving there. An anarchy logo (circled A) can be seen near the text. The photo is taken from an angle that suggests the location of the graffiti - it's the entrance to Politechnika metro station.
