walk on by…
These images, taken as part of my "hidden places" theme, are a sign of where I'd like to go with my photography, recording the people of belgradestreets. As we walk the streets in our city, wherever that is, what do we know of the people around us? Who are they? Where are they going? Why? … Continue reading walk on by…

hidden places on belgradestreets
Wandering off the beaten track is rewarding. Walking along belgradestreets, the range of shops first struck me as disappointing. What takes time is the gradual realisation that many shops, cafes and bars are located, not on prime sites on the big boulevards, but in alley ways, underpasses and along passageways that often open up into … Continue reading hidden places on belgradestreets

Weekly Photo Challenge: Resolved
For an expat in Belgrade, Christmas comes twice a year. Today the Orthodox Church celebrated Christmas. And soon, here, it will be New Year again. Another time to make resolutions to live a better life, to treat those around us, all those we love, with more respect. Resolutions at this time of year make fickle … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Resolved

happy new year from belgradestreets
Standing alone, watching life blazing by, the man standing on the corner thinks about his next step across the road. What will he find on the other side? How many people will be alone tonight as the New Year bursts upon us? Watching the lights flash past, life rushing by. So, as you pop the … Continue reading happy new year from belgradestreets

christmas comes to belgradestreets
It is not Christmas Day this week on belgradestreets. At least not officially, Christmas comes to Serbia on 7 January, after New Year. Which for an expat living in town is quiet special because one gets two Christmas days to celebrate. Christmas has always been a special time for me. The long gone days when, … Continue reading christmas comes to belgradestreets

Čavketov pasaž
belgradestreets are full of surprises and joy. Tucked away between streets, behind gates, mystery and beauty await those who are prepared to find, those who have a guide to show. Čavketov pasaž would be ignored by most, not even found my most. It rewards examination. My first feelings on arriving on belgradestreets were not positive, … Continue reading Čavketov pasaž

the world didn’t end
All those people who travelled today to far-flung places to seek the protection of aliens from the long foreshadowed end of the world went to the wrong place. Here on Knez Mihaila we have our very own pyramid. I arrived early this morning to capture the crowds waiting for the apocalypse and the appearance of … Continue reading the world didn’t end
