By Kate Radojkovic![]() The task of street photography is not to convey and testify to the truth of the event. It suggests insight, it criticizes reality, even ridicules it. Above all, I urge to enact through my lens the beauty. I see in things themselves. This kind of photography might mirror the society, the situation and the place, but it would never be imprisoned by the reputation or by the style. It does not necessarily testify to the truth, but suggests an insight into some truth. And all that through the eye of the artist. The absolute freedom of individuality; Thus street photography becomes a critic of society in its own way. In my opinion it’s bringing it closer to a poetic and artistic way of communicating life, and emphasizes the subjectivity. I tried to characterize my photographs by a common, almost sentimental line, mostly a black and white depiction of an urbanized environment and a modern but isolated as well as alienated person in such an environment. ![]() I’ve been thinking about a lot of things lately, first of all life in general, and a few thoughts kept nagging. I guess, one starts to re-examine what and how corona virus started circulating in the community and assessed its potential impact… This newly formed situation, brings that unrest; what could have been happened, but it didn’t. I made at least a thousand idiotic (mis)assumptions based from subconscious biases. We can’t doubt the idea that the very clever can also be very silly. I’m not a motivational speaker nor do I like those things, but there are so many things that are almost beyond anybody’s control that can totally mess your chance up… Or there might… Some days I wonder what the hell I’m doing, why I’m making my life so hard… Obviously, to breakthrough my own monotony. ![]() The Green Line is a 180 kilometer-long (112 miles) stretch of land that divides the island of Cyprus and its capital city of Nicosia. It was created as a demilitarized zone or a buffer, if you prefer, between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot controlled areas of Cyprus after Turkey invaded the Mediterranean island back in 1974. Here, lies an unoccupied piece of land that seems to have been frozen in time. ![]() By Kate Radojkovic of Portion Control Being a professional footballer is the dream job for many and it's easy to see why, Ara Bedrossian have experienced that as International player and for the past years he had extended his career as a Coach to set up drills in training.
