Part of the vacation in Serbia we spent in Southern part of Republic, close to Kosovo and Metohija. My wife's parents have an old property (from their parents) in a small village outside town of Prokuplje. One Sunday morning we went in to town for my wife to attend Devine Liturgy at the Prokuplje Orthodox Church and to visit some relatives. While waiting for her, I met some interesting young people in front of the Church Gates. That Sunday was just another working day for them...
That is how my 8 years old son described Serbia... Chipsy is a snack very popular all over the place. You can buy it on every corner in grocery shop. Chipsy is everywhere...
August was a busy one. After coming back from Ecuador, another big trip was in August: family vacation to Serbia. 3 weeks and more than 45 gigs later, we are back. Younger members of my family are back in school, and everything is getting back to usual... A lot of nice images will be coming here as soon as I am able to process the load.
What an experience! 7 days in Ecuador... Most of the time we spent in the Amazonia, about an hour drive from Tena. We headed from Toronto to Miami, and than to Quito - capital of the country. After 1 1/2 days there, a 7 hours bus ride took us to our final destination.
Our hosts were local people Dalfin and Estela with their family. Dalfin is a leader. He's been welcoming people to his jungle huts for the last 19 years.
In a few days I will be leaving for another assignment in wet lands of Ecuador's Amazon. It is a TV pilot project and it will be shot on HD, with Sony EX1 camera. This will be a perfect opportunity to "prove or kill" this system in harsh conditions. The shoot will be 4 days long, small cast and crew.
I took all the shots and pills needed, gear is almost ready. Few more last minute running around.
Another Saturday, another wedding. This was again a freelance assignment for wedding studio here in Toronto. Wedding it self was at the great location. One of those outdoor events. I prefer this kind of job over any other indoor gala.
This blog is on line diary of Steven S. Miric, photographer and cameraman living and working in Toronto, Canada.
He picked up his father's Zorki rangefinder when he was a teenager, and since than a photo camera was never out of his sight (and mind). Along came the film school, movies and TV work. Still, photography is a big part.
Since they came to Toronto, Steven and his family never lived far from the downtown, always on the East side.
