Thanks for the kind words. 

I loved Brazil. It was one of my dreams to visit Rio and its famous Carnaval. Waowww!! Was a crazy experience!

 

I don't have a website. Instagram and Facebook is where I post these days but it's all nonchalant.

 

I'm presently consolidating all my photographic work as I think it is ripe for the next step. I am wet printing ALL my best B&W work (fiber 5x7, then 8x10, then 11x14, 16x20 and 20x24) and scanning ALL my negatives (B&W and Color). When all will comprehensively compiled I will publish a few books categorized as the Balkans, the Tropics, North america, Winter... something as such.

 

I've been printing for the past 5 years and frankly it's become a huge mess. I don't know where to store the piles of boxes filled with high quality archival prints, anymore. I can't even move them an inch. And opening any box is a venture I'm not willing to take. It necessitates a whole empty room just to surf through them and put them back in the box (I'm talking about 20x24 fb prints). And the curls! Makes me go mad. So I've decided that these prints that will probably never see the light of day anymore are there to support the scans and the future books. After all, the idea of shooting film is to have prints and the negatives to backup the images, to validate them.

 

Still, it's all so fun. In a few more years I'll be able to sit down and say "Voila, it's all done". And then start a new photo project from fresh.

 

And I agree with your view about street photography in general. I think you've been very nice, though. My point of view about it is much harsher. In general, I find it uninspired and uninspiring. For example, shooting posters/graffittis/ads with people walking next to them is really bad practice.

 

Hehehe, i am not that harsh since i am guilty sometime of what i criticize :) Thats why i been trying to focus more on portraits, and getting to know the people i shoot in the streets than just shooting walls, but I can deny that sometimes i fall as well for the same cliche :( Its difficult to overcome it.... Whats your instagram? Will be happy to follow you. 

 

You mention Balkan countries, have you been to Romania? I recently moved to Romania. there is a lot to shoot. Not as in Brazil, but still a lot of material, and much more safer :)

We all do it. But let's not base our whole collection of images on a one-visual-trick.

 

Mostly ex-yu and bulgaria. I'm planing a trip to Romania in a year or two. I'm eager to see!
