"...some of the most beautiful writing next to enjoying the music itself." – Doug Payne (producer, writer, critic)
"...allows wonderful familiarity with the daunting, endless (and endlessly stunning) ECM catalog—and opens up possibilities that may have been missed on previous listening experiences." – Craig LeHoullier (ECM lover, author, dedicated reader)
“He digs deep into his emotional and technical reserves and proves his chameleonic abilities, such that whenever he returns with the theme in tow, it is always as if from a long journey.” - Marin Stojanovski
From Wikipedia: "Yamanba (ヤマンバ, Yamanba?) sometimes written as "yamamba", is a fashion trend among young Japanese women. Starting with the bleached white hair and heavy tan of the ganguro girl, the yamanba adds white lipstick, white eye makeup, and sometimes brightly colored contacts, plastic clothing, and inappropriate accessories. Some yamanba wear stuffed animals as decorations, talk with a slurred speech, and enjoy shiny neon or dayglo colors."

His dog, for a moment forgotten, bundled on his arm with its paw wrapped around his forearm as he types away on his smartphone, glasses tipping forward – it's all of these little details that come together in that moment to make me smile and lift my camera.
It was 2nd of August when wondering trough the empty alleys of the Old Bazar that morning, I noticed on a facade several paint brushes in different colours. That’s how my multimedia exhibition 7/24 started. The idea was to represent my emotions trough different colour on similar objects. Wondering during one week I was opening different colour of doors. What colour are you? We are the world.
Was it an accident or intentional? Will we ever know?
It's a humorous picture. I borrowed the golf club because golf isn't one of my favorite sports.

Olovka piše srcem
Glava
Glava ima oči
oči paze da ne padneš na glavu
Glava ima i rogove ako je stoka
Čemu sliži glava.
Da je peremo
da se klima
da pričamo sa njom
da je okrećeš na sve strane
da se metne na jastuk kad spavaš

The Ganzfeld effect
( a phenomenon of perception caused by exposure to an unstructured, uniform stimulation field. The effect is the result of the brain amplifying neural noise in order to look for the missing visual signals.)
Photographing a stranger is a challenge. But all it takes for him to smile is a gentle approach and asking him how is his day going. A few good words exchanged is worth a beautiful shot. More than the photograph it’s the story’s and the emotion created between you and the subject.

The first time I ever came to New York as a tourist with my family, I was a 16 year old boy living in a town of 40.000 people. That visit to the city opened my universe so much and in so many profound ways that I promised myself when I grew up I would try to live here and get to be a NY correspondent, telling stories about it to share with the world….
When I ended up meeting Anton 10 years later, a New Yorker who would eventually become my dear husband and prompted me to move from Spain to his city , I could have never imagined that it would be the first step in fulfilling that dream of youth. The energy of the city, once I lived in it, caused once more a deep change within me, for it opened my eyes to a visual world I didn’t know I had inside, and my love for photography and visual storytelling was born and has only grown every day for the past 6 years. If only that 16 year old Sion could see me today… I like to say that New York has given me so much that I try for my work to be a big “thank you” note to the city. To capture its magic and try to share it with others so they can feel they’re a small part of it as well…
So today, as a journalist and a photographer interested in human interest stories, I'm proud to be asked by the new journalistic platform Beacon Reader to launch "Extraordinary Everyday New Yorkers," a dream project where I'd have the chance to scout the 5 boroughs of New York in search of riveting subjects and create (two times a month) in-depth photo essays (with text and photographs) about a person's life/work to share exclusively with the audience on that platform.
But in order to make it happen, I NEED YOUR HELP!... Beacon Reader is a subscription based model, featuring right now more than 60 writers and journalists in 30 countries around the world. For the launch of my project, I need to reach 150 initial backers by February 7th. Subscription starts at $5 a month, with several other reward options that include $15 for 3 months, $30 for 6 months, $55 for a full year, $100 for a one year subscription plus a signed 8x10" print of a limited series of one of my photographs. Or for those in New York, $300 would bring you a one year subscription, the signed print, AND...one hour of me taking your portraits/publicity headshots (a true steal, considering my usual working rate!).
And a great BONUS... when you back "Extraordinary Everyday New Yorkers" you are also getting full access to every other project, story and writer on Beacon. Here's the FULL LIST of current Beacon writers and their topics! So that's a LOT of good journalism every month for the price of a latte.
I'm proud I shall be the first invited photography-based journalist joining the Beacon Reader project. If it's successful, it will probably open the doors to other image makers to create their projects and get them funded and shared as well!
So please help out if you can... and come with me on a journey to discover riveting stories from the inhabitants of this wonderful city...

Thank you so much!
And have a wonderful day!

PS:
If you hadn't read these before, they will show you some examples of an approximate type of the stories I'd be doing for my "Extraordinary Everyday New Yorkers" project. But the ones in the project would be based in New York, and way more elaborated and in-depth.

3- A Day at the Farm:
Amidst the bustling crowd, a determined woman strides with purpose, her style setting her apart. While the street hums with the rhythm of everyday life, her gaze tells a story—one of independence, focus, and a journey uniquely hers.
Quarantine comforting thoughts is a short story divided in several different ambiences during past three months. So, three months, three lakes, three photographs…

Now I've been sleeping for sixty days and
Nobody better pinch me
Bitch I swear, go crazy
She got jumper cable lips
She got sunset on her breath
I inhaled just a little bit
Now I got no fear of death

It was quet, blurry and so dark we can’t even see the light at the Museum Of Contemporay Art in Skopje that poets want to change it.

Rock 'n'roll echoes through the air as a young wanderer, rocking curls and charisma like Mick Jagger, roams the streets of London.

Ladybird on the roof makes me wonder if this trip is supposed to be a dream or if it is something more spiritual?
“Aside from the journey offered here, imaginary day is a gem for what it presents in new sounds and tones. It is long-time journey filled with enjoyable twists and turns. An invitation for great experience and opportunity to hear some music that will hopefully be to rich for radio.” - A. G. Gillis
Brugge draws visitors from every corner of the globe, and one of the finest ways to soak in its charm is a canal boat tour. There’s something captivating about strangers from vastly different lives coming together, sharing a tiny boat for 20 minutes, and then scattering back to their own worlds. It’s a poignant, literal reminder: we truly are all in the same boat, navigating shared challenges on this planet we call home.
