I saw these old people sitting modestly on the bench. An old man looked nervous trying to talk to someone on the phone, while his wife (presumably) was talking to him at the same time. Moving to the right, the grandma in brown was full of suspicion of me. She noticed that my camera was towards them and said something to her friend on her left in a green jacket. However, her friend did not reply to her. Instead, she was keeping her eye on me. It was not me this time but somebody else was the one who observed. My camera was brave, so I captured it. Elders chatting to each other and sitting on a long bench. Oct. 19, 2021. NDK, Sofia. An old and young couple sitting next to each other. Oct.19, 2021. NDK, Sofia. Another story, different eyes staring at me What can you tell from these eyes that he owns, from the wrinkled skin that he wears? The sorrow that he hides, the pain that he feels is all him. The love that he admires, the dreams that he believes in is him. Something rebellious, something deep about this sight. Yordan Voshtinarov, a man who loved to experiment by putting together the landscape of two different places. His favorite mix was Japanese and Bulgarian nature. He knew a lot, more than I could imagine. He has never been to the places he draws but he believes he will visit them one day. Until then he will be relentlessly creating his own version of these places. A girl sitting alone under the sunlight in the background of two old ladies walking on the square. Oct. 19, 2021.

The photos of these people become even more meaningful after the small conversations we have. I believe that I intertwine my own life with others at least for a moment. Luckily, I have been rewarded for capturing a part of their personality that was revealed to me. This kind of autumn day in Sofia, now seems to disappear until next year. Fall 2021 | AUBG Daily 7
