Stepping off the train, Cala encountered the other-worldly landscape for the first time and decided this is what he wanted to make of photographic record of. Fascinated by the subject matter, he devoted himself to photographing the Silesian landscape between 1975 - 1992, which resulted in the series entitled Śląsk (Silesia).

Cala's photography took on various influences ranging from surrealism, which inspired a movement in Poland called fotografia kreacyjna (creative photography), and the realism of British New Wave cinema of the late 1950's and early 1960's.
