Maya

Maja, what is her real name in Croatian, had a strong role in my life for a period. She is a great artist who achieved many successes in art. But it's not all! She was living & working in London for few years & was recognized & appreciated there by her work too! She is also a fashion designer & a stylist & a fashion adviser for other people. She is also an astrologist & combining all her skills & knowledge packaged together in a fusion. But before all that - she is an extraordinary beautiful, good, smart & capable woman who thought me many things. I liked to call her "my private witch" during our time together when we were experimenting a lot in many different directions but also calling her Maya, which in Sanskrit means "illusion". For this I have my personal reasons which definitely are not awoken by negative experiences but exactly the opposite but I can't discover everything here. I must leave something for you to imagine & stay a true gentleman above all!

This is me - "a young apprentice" - most probably shot by Maya with my camera.

We were sitting under a weeping willow by the stream in my favorite bar in Fužine, Croatia, probably in early autumn cause I am a crazy mushroom picker & Maya liked to spend time with me in forest & nature in general. After almost every hunt I liked to visit this bar to drink a beer, coffee, rakija or all that together sometimes. Besides that I really adore the weeping willows making the scene so romantic while her longest branches gently touching the slowly streaming water surface...

These shots I took long time ago on Ilford FP4 PLUS 125 & I totally have forgotten about it. It was laying down in a cabinet. I believe even 6-7 years have passed, possible even longer. Just recently, when I was cleaning the room, I rediscovered it & took it to the craftsman to develop it cause I don't have a dark room nor the equipment or material to do it myself. So, they scanned the negative & sent it to me by E-mail. I was sooo thrilled by the shots & here are some of them. I'll be posting more of them in different themes for sure in the next days! I used an old Nikon film camera to shoot these most probably but it's possible that it was Minolta too cause in some period I didn't have this Nikon but I remember I was using some Minolta for a while. I can't be sure cause long time has passed & I don't remember.
