It is not easy to document such big events. I always try to capture as many small or micro-events happenings and as many participants as possible. Of course, no one could be everywhere at the same time

The culmination point of any wedding that follows the traditions is the "horo". That is a round-dance that takes place, here in particular, on the central square of the village. Usually the groom

Weddings at the village last for two or three days. That is only the celebrations. The preparations last for much longer. Here are some views from the streets of the village, the events during the weekend

Today, it is time to say goodbye to this village, named after one of the most beautiful big mountains in Bulgaria, Pirin. I do not know if I will ever return here. Frankly, being here just reminded me

Black and white impressions from the village of Pirin, having the same name as the mountain Pirin, one of the most beautiful and biggest mountains in Southern Bulgaria. Starting with a landscape with its

Once such glory, now only story... This village in one of the biggest mountains in Bulgaria was once full of life and today it is just a shadow of its best times... The legend of the wild beast who had

Alba Iulia, Romania. One really special place, a must see if you travel to Romania! You probably know by now how much I love Black & White or sometimes referred as Monochromatic photography. I have
