Red Vision is my vision, the vision of Nikolas Gregorkiewitz. Nik, Nico, Nick, Greg, Nik MacGregor, Beatnik13, Mowgli, Feral, Tarzan, Jesus, or any other name or nickname which have been given to me during all these years of walkabouts. What seems a severe case of split personality disorder is actually a collection of experiences and friendships throughout a period of many years on the road.
Wow, it is a great thought! Finding myself writing for something that can be read anywhere in the world I suddenly feel like as if a huge task is upon me. I ask myself now what would be really important to say in such moment.
I started this website with the idea of getting my work over all boundaries, and reach the global community as well as the many friends whose like me are chasing their dreams somewhere out there. Well, here I am, and this is what I am doing with my life, with the time that was given to me.

In these days, as our Earth is screaming in agony, and the majority of us too busy killing one another or finding other means to get wealthier, I ask myself what should I do to somehow help this world.

I am no scientist, nor am I a doctor, and neither I possess the skills and the tools of all those who everyday make of their professions a way to save what good is left of us.
I am a professional photographer and each day, I chase beauty.
Can I make I difference? I believe so.
I believe that if I can communicate my love for nature to others, if I can waken awareness, if I can somehow make the silent majority a little less silent, and more understanding, even if I could get just one person off the couch, or down that fence, to raise a voice of his or her own for this world, than I would have made that difference.

I have a dream, a dream of thousands of people becoming one under the big blue sky. Beyond the lies and falsities of TV, beyond the stereotypes and prejudice, beyond greed and exploitation, in my dream a voice will grow louder. A voice of freedom and love and hope, the voice of whose see and understand that our earth is dying, and it needs help, not bombs.

I do have a dream, and I am a photographer because I enjoy it too.

Of course, I could write endless pages about the philosophy that lies beneath taking photographs. I could talk about time and life and ethics and a lot of New Age crap regarding my profession. But would it really help? Would a list of all of my whys and my buts give a better understanding of the work I do? What difference would it make to anyone, to know if I had a good childhood or not, or if I do or I don't believe in a God or in aliens.
I could write a detailed resume of my schooling and my achievements in life, things I know and things I can do. Don't think that would help either.

Let's take a different approach. Stop worrying about who I am, end let's enter the galleries

"May beauty be all around us…
… may beauty be all inside us." (Navajo)
