There’s some other material I wanted to share with you right now, and it’s been stuck in my head for, lets say, last two month. We all know that from time to time some photos can occupy our minds and thoughts. Some of them will stay forever in that small box we call a brain, and others will fall into oblivion after some time.

Recently I’ve been thinking constantly about two photos that were made by my friends and BelgradeRaw members also, Andrej and Zeljko.  They are engraved in my head for quite some time. At first I was impressed just by their content and how they affected me visually.

After that I’ve started to realize that these two photos actually go well together, I’ve started to look at them as very similar, coherent images, despite the fact that these are photos of animals, shot during the night using flash. That’s obvious.

On the other hand, there’s also differences that are playing a major role in discussing/reading these images. Atmosphere: barking and running, aggresion and need of escaping from all kinds of disturbance, etc.  I don’t want to go further with this, because everyone will see different stories and interpretations.

Personally, I see these two pictures as a puzzle, a little story that can be told only by looking at both photos. That’s the reason I’ve paired them in my mind, and now here. Hope I’ll pair them on my wall too, as nice, big prints.

Big bravo for Andrej and Zeljko, for capturing these great images and for being that fast.

See you around very soon. Until then make a wishlist for Santa Claus cause I’ve heard that he’ll come this year for sure.

This is the second time in last 15 days that Donald Weber was in Belgrade, and he was so generous to share with us huge amount of his knowledge and experiences from photography field. Thanks to him we had a great portfolio review a week and a half ago, and this weekend we had this workshop in the office of Media Photographers Association of Serbia.

After that, in the evening we had an informal meeting, four of us with some other local photographers, foggy and cold night on Belgrade streets with a standard amount of tea and alcohol (you can see that Zeljko still smokes; and four of us in the pub, having discussion about some post-production things – photos by Srdjan Kalinic).

See you soon, new feature (from Milovan Milenkovic) is on the way, be ready.
