ŠETNJA.101

WALKING.101

Ovo je ono što dobijete kada pozovete portretnog fotografa da "dođe u šetnju po Bužimu s kolegom s posla i nekoliko drugih" – a ispostavi se da ima DEVEDESET OSAM drugih ljudi (plus Alma, plus Safet, plus ja = 101).

Kao da sama količina nije bila dovoljno izazovna, gotovo svi su se pokazali nevjerojatno prijateljski nastrojenima – čak su i neki vrlo grubo izgledajući alfa mužjaci, koji očito nisu bili nasmiješeni od osamdesetih, imali iskru u očima kada sam im prišao – pa sam na kraju napravio doslovno stotine fotografija.

Hvala svima na predivnom danu i na najukusnijoj supi koju sam jeo godinama. Bez hvala što ste me natjerali da radim toliko puno posla. I žao mi je što ste morali čekati cijelu zimu da vidite neke fotografije.

I ko zna? Možda se vidimo na nekom zaleđenom brdu drugi put.

This is what you get when you invite a portrait photographer to "come for a walk around Buzim with a colleague from work and a few others" – and it turns out there are NINETY-EIGHT other people (plus Alma, plus Safet, plus me = 101).

As if the sheer number wasn't challenging enough, almost everyone turned out to be ridiculously friendly – even some very rugged alpha male types who clearly haven't smiled since the 80s had a twinkle in their eyes when I approached - so I ended up taking literally hundreds of photos.

Thank you all for a wonderful day, and for the most delicious soup I've had in years. No thanks for making me do soooo much work. And sorry you had to wait for a whole winter to pass before you got to see some photos.

And who knows? Maybe see you on a frozen hillside another time.

!!! STOP !!! 

IT'S THE END

Čestitamo. Stigli ste do kraja - i šetnje I ove smiješno duge prezentacije slajdova.

Ako vam trebaju kopije nekih fotografija, ili ako samo želite reći zdravo ili mi ponuditi dobro plaćeni posao na Mount Kilimandžaru, možete me pronaći na Facebooku kao Ben Owen-Browne ili mi poslati email na benowenbrowne@gmail.com.

Ćao za sada.

Congratulations. You made it to the end - of the walk AND of this ridiculously-long slide show.

If you need copies of any of the photos, or if you just want to say hello or offer me a well-paid commission to Mount Kilimanjaro, you can find me on Facebook at Ben Owen-Browne or you can email benowenbrowne@gmail.com

Ciao for now.
