October in Sarajevo is cold, and every day is getting colder. Whole town starts to give a new look

My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

Worldwide | Sunday, October 17, 2010 | flickr photos

These photos were taken on cold, cloudy and rainy day in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I tried to represent the way city is facing this change and the way people deal with it. Almost everything is grayish and sooner or later covered with fog. On the first sight it is depressing, but there is something hidden that represents the beauty of it all.
As colors fade and plants wither, it is all part of the cycle, and it is all able to give beautiful tones of autumn.

I am an amateur photographer and I take pictures for the pleasure. I've been taking photographs for about four years, and my favorite genres are macro photography, landscape, street photography, and documentary photography.
I enjoy adventures and discovering new places, seeing and learning about something different and something new, but I rarely have a chance to travel anywhere so for now I'm pleasing my love for adventures only by reading books and watching documentaries. I really hope I will be able to go to places on my own soon and to see the beauty of adventure in reality, But until then I'm almost a prisoner of my town and life of a journalism student, with few hours left at the end of the day to watch television and to dream I am somewhere far away.
I have only my town for now, and perhaps there is a few streets in it waiting to be discovered and I will try to find them. For when I finally get a chance to go somewhere on my own, I might never see those streets again.
I'm not expecting to be chosen for I believe my work isn't that good, but for now, only the chance to apply and to send my photographs, is pretty much of an adventure to me.
