Grebenac
Grebenac is the village Nana (that is, my Grandmother) grew up in. Apart from Vrsac where our hotel was, we spent a majority of our time visiting people in this village. Some of these people include family, others were dear childhood friends of Nana.
Unlike with all the other pictures I took on this trip, I had a set goal when photographing Grebenac, that being to capture the village as if it were frozen in time. None of these pictures capture people or animals, which give it a sense of lifelessness or stillness, especially with the ruinous buildings and photos from the cemetery (although, the last photo being of the well does capture motion. This can also be looked at as a dim source of life still present in this seemingly abandoned village).
I'm very happy with all the pictures in this gallery, especially knowing that this is where my family comes from (at least on my Moms side).
