My contribution to this week's WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge. The theme this week "surprise". This photo appeared in my last regular post. Sometimes beauty can surprise us. It comes from nowhere, we find it when we are not looking for it. Like love. In this case, a puddle on the street, a street covered with … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Surprise

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

I've been very busy this last week... Hope to get some posts out soon, alleyways and graffiti for Christmas perhaps. For now, please check out this great post from Nemanja Jovanović, one of six great documentary photographers who make up Belgrade's Kamerades photo collective. Gritty, powerful and challenging work.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful

A post dedicated to all those across the world who refuse to "turn back or die" and instead face the consequences. To all those for whom "turn back or die" is … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful

woolloomooloo
A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. In 1970, Australian educator, journalist and politician Irina Dunn created the phrase by scribbling it on two bathroom doors: one at Sydney University where she was then a student, and the other at Soren's Wine Bar in Woolloomooloo. This post is not about women, … Continue reading woolloomooloo

twisted reality
What is real, and what is illusion? Which is the real world when we look into a mirror? Is the world we sense real, or is there some other reality in that which we see reflected in the glass? And what is reality? Is it the reality that we exist in at the moment we … Continue reading twisted reality

novo groblje
The dead are never alone on belgradestreets. These images were captured during a walk around belgradestreets this weekend. I had heard much about the "new cemetery" and decided it was time to visit. Not one cemetery but a complex of interlinked resting places. The cemetery opened in 1886 after that in Tašmajden closed and is … Continue reading novo groblje
