Still on my journey, still taking photos - just trying to make a film last a little bit longer.

And on and on we go!

Mostly taken within few days, snippets of Belgrade and awkwardly cropped pictures of my friends.

Summer is coming and it's taking us hostage…

I am still going on with my analogue automatic intergalactic planetary experiment.

I am less satisfied with this batch, but I am on a mission to simply do art stuff, and I feel like I should share it, at least, in this little hidden corner of the internet here.

me and who???

When I was a kid, in the 90s, we had this automatic analogue camera that my mom taught me how to use. Recently, I remembered how I enjoy taking photos, so I got myself a cheap new automatic camera, reminiscing of the olden ones that in my country we used to call an "id*ot camera" (as it is so simple to use, due to being automatic, that "any ol' idi*t could use it", an awful word and saying of a luckily bygone era).

Taking pictures on film connected me to my inner child in ways I didn't think would be possible anymore, so I am just going to share some of the shoddy, grainy pictures that gave me back hope. And I might be sharing more in the future ^^

I have done some light cropping here and there but haven't altered them in any other way in order to maintain the truthfulness of the art.

I am, currently, on a journey of self-rediscovery as an artist, working on rekindling my creativity. I got recommended, by a friend, the book "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron, and I am currently starting Week Three of her process, which makes me feel rejuvenated and much more in touch with myself than I've been in a really long time. Taking photos was one of the tasks I gave myself on this adventure, and I just feel like sharing that and them with the world.

One of my favorite things about Terry Pratchett's books is their unique relationship with used bookstores. Particularly because they are difficult to find, for three reasons. The first reason is that they aren't there. Books in used bookstores were once owned by other people, people who decided to let that book go in the hopes that it will find someone new who will love it. It's very difficult to let go of a Terry Pratchett book. The second reason is that, if they make it into a store, they never stay there very long. They're usually purchased less than a few days after their arrival.

The third reason is my favorite: if they made it to the bookstore, and remained unnoticed, it's because the spine is worn. It's been read and loved so much it's almost unrecognizable from the spine. I've never found a used Terry Pratchett book without a cracked spine, and I love it. Cracked spines, stained pages, worn covers, these are the physical signs of love that we leave on our favorite books, and every Terry Pratchett book I've found in a used bookstore has been loved, dearly.
