In the past few months I have been digitalizing my film archive of the past 3 years and to my great surprise, I understood that more than 70% I have nature shots. It is not that I am becoming a nature photographer, but no matter where I am and what is my main aim to photograph, I am anyway ending up with bushes. I guess at this point, it is quite clear what my heart gravitates to. And I decided to give it a try, from now on I will post a few photos from one film that I was shooting during this month of the calendar and then let’s see where it brings me. I hope you will like it too. So it is May now.
