Belgrade street, 17.12.2014

Writing a little something about this city is almost impossible, and writing something new even more so. It’s an enormous city. Each time I visit it, i get taken over by its charm, and each time I further realize why it used to be the capital of our former country.

The city never sleeps, never shuts down. It has so many interesting things, streets, boulevards, parks, friendly people who have time to socialize, restaurants with a soul, homeless people, con artists,  scamming taxi drivers, supermodels, traders, money exchangers, artists, etc.

With each step, Belgrade gives me a feeling of being home and being welcome. Belgrade is beautiful, and I absolutely love it.

I landed at 10am at the airport, and by 4pm I’ve already finished two meetings. At 5pm I met with my friend Srđan, and we went on a random walk around the city, after which we had dinner at Tri šeširi restaurant in the Terazije district. The photographs I took were taken on the walk from the street of Knez Mihajlov to Kalamegdan district. The night only ended, as one would expect from a trip to such a city, in the early morning hours. I had to be careful not to be swept away by the city, as I had a plane to Podgorica to catch at 5am, where I had the rest of the meetings for the next two days scheduled.

The photographs were taken with a Leica X2, using JPG format in black & white. They are completely unprocessed (SOOC).

Gear: Leica X2, JPG, NO PHOTOSHOP (!!!)
