faces at the zoo
Zoo. Prison or preserve? Our responsibility to protect wildlife? Our desire to control, classify, incarcerate? Roaring, railing, roaming, ranging. Restrained by railings and ramparts? Animals looking out, humans looking in? The reverse? Need we do this? If not, would we suffer, would our knowledge of the world be diminished? Animals. Are we any better?

Grids, lines, patterns, symbolism. Symmetry. Asymmetry. Lone man steps out. Open bins. Closed shutters. Circular balconies. Private boxes for the Kalemegdan show? Sorrowful eyes behind mosaic bars. Windows to the soul. Dvojka, chariot of the gods. These are belgradestreets.

Bohemians and writers lived here. Their spirit lives on. Restaurants now dominate the street. Today, a cold day in mid winter, few came out to play. The street is alive with the past.

in the blink of an eye
How much do we miss as we walk along the streets? Eyes down on the floor. Worried about that next meeting. The stress and strain of our lives. Sometimes it just pays to open our eyes. Stop, pause, look...and wonder. This image snatched on my iPhone as I hopped off a bus at Studentski Trg … Continue reading in the blink of an eye
