This series was created in 2005 in my hometown of Zdu?ska Wola. I found out that the old part of the city was to be revitalized. I thought it would be good to capture her as she is before the changes. But the empty courtyards were depressing. However, I found there the purest joy - the joy of children who spent their free time in these backyards. These are the happiest porters I've ever made in my life.
