I Travel And Photograph People Around The World To Overcome My Social Phobia And Fear Of Flying
My name is David Tesinsky and I'm frequently traveling the world for more than 10 years. My aim is to photograph people with somehow controversial lifestyles or destinies, or just creatively capture 'normal people'.
During these 10 years, I have visited around 60 countries. I must admit that it was quite challenging for me at first as I had problems talking with people when I was younger. However, after meeting a lot of real warm-hearted good people it became much better and they helped me to heal my soul and myself.
Nonetheless, another problem occurred as flying became a 'panic attack matter' to me and it's only getting worse. I think that the fact that I went through a private jet crash doesn't help me either. Also, being bipolar makes things much worse but it is pretty decent at the moment.
I've been staying in the war-zone in Donbas, Ukraine, photographing women soldiers that are currently fighting Russia. I've played guitar in the open air to the whole slum with the full audience in Osaka, Japan. It was "Karma Police" by Radiohead. I've been even teaching photojournalism class at the Prague College for one semester. I visited a jail in Ukraine and photographed the murderers convicted for life.
There is an ongoing artsy satirical project called LIFE IS GOOD. It all started in 2012 as a purely satirical creative product - an ongoing photo project - to make people laugh, think and kill the stereotypes and prejudices. Also, to make the world a better place.

All I want to know is what happened to the puppy? Is she/he being taken care of? Can it be adopted? Is it safe and warm? Loved? You can see how much that dog needs to be loved.

Yeah, who cares about war? It's all about animals (except the human kind)

It was my personal master piece, I let my normal life behind me and just fall. I dreamt about to just fall down some river with purse and staff as you care. To be honest, my purse was empty and I read a Sunday newspaper with gossips and reading shocks me to fall into to the river 🙂😂

It is not really shooting as in gun shooting it is the photography term. Ever heard of a photoshoot?

I've never flown either. Always wanted to visit other countries, but been to scared. I know people say its safer, but that isnt what really scares me. It's just the idea of not being on the ground. Not an actual possibility of a plane crash.
