truth of the villages in Serbia, a photo from Serbia, North

Photographer's Note

Majstor koji se godinama bavi zidarstvom prepravlja krov jedne mnogo stare kuće.
Malo je ljudi koji se bave ovim poslom.
Vlasnik ovog placa je sredio čitavo dvori魩e u etno stilu.
Kuriozitet je to 魩o je gradi u selu koje ljudi masovno napu魩aju i odlaze u grad i u druge dr膶ve..
Mortalitet je veliki rodi se tek po nekoliko deteta,a svake godine umre do 50 ljudi.
U selu od nekada䭰jih 600 domaćinstava ostalo je mnogo malo ljudi.
Posle bombardovanja Srbije 1999 godine se drastično povećalo oboljenje od kancera.
Poslednjih par meseci je umrlo 7 ljudi od te opake bolesti koja je ranije bila veoma retka u mojoj dr膶vi.
Nije ba� prijatna priča ali je istinita.
Ovo je realnost mnogih sela u Srbiji.

Master who has spent years studying Freemasonry alters the roof of a lot of old houses.
Few people are engaged in this work.
The owner of this land had arranged the whole yard in ethnic style.
The curiosity is that it is built in the village that people are leaving en masse and go to the city in another country ..
Mortality is a father only a few children, and die each year up to 50 people.
The former village of 600 households remained many little people.
After the bombing of Serbia in 1999 to dramatically increase the disease of cancer.
The last couple of months is seven people died from this terrible disease that had previously been very rare in my country.
It's not very nice story but it is true.
This is the reality of many villages in the Serbia.

ps

Za ovu fotografiju ne morate da mi dajete poene.
Ovaj rad je posvećen preminulim kom餜jama rođacima i prijateljima od bolesti koja je doletela sa neba.

For this picture do not have to give me points.
This paper is dedicated to the deceased neighbors, relatives and friends of the disease that came from the sky.

pablominto (53746) 2011-01-21 0:05

Hello Sasha,

An interesting documentary of a worker in action!
Some sadness in the scene that is emphasised by the story...
Sharp fine details and the upward point of view adds fine lines!

Greetings,

Hi Sasha!

A hard and truly comment, this is too the real life, sometimes hard...but humans break every time its problems and go walking ahead...just dead stop us!!

About cancer diseases...it is an horrible thing to bring cancer that way to any one...May be our own body have it...but bring to others is dramatic...

A big hug!!!

Manu

jmdias (114384) 2011-01-21 1:02

sasha

nice image showing the old man working in the old roof. yes, things are changing fast and we can see this same scenery in brazil, portugal, spain or serbia. the rural comunities are losing their inhabitants. it is a pity

hugs

ikeharel (112549) 2011-01-21 1:42

Hello Sasha,
Strong emotion you had put into this picture - but a wonderful scene of a working man on roof-tiles.
Excelent compo., great light and colors.
Regards
Ike

Longroute (19600) 2011-01-21 1:53

Nice shot, very original and interesting scene. The tiles and wood boards create a graphic pattern and the man is a very good subject.

Cancer is probably due to the radioactive metals contained in the bombs and bullets...

Have a nice day,
Donato

mauro61 (53411) 2011-01-21 1:59

ciao Sasha,
anche da noi in Sicilia, nei vecchi centri, si assiste a scene del genere con l'antica arte di fare le coperture con le tegole.
Ottimo il POV sull'anziano lavoratore,
saluti

Urs (14082) 2011-01-21 2:20

Hi Sasha

Stunning, he really is in the act of putting the tile on the pile of tiles, good action shot with high sharpness and pleasing color hues. Well done.

Warm regards
Urs

BennyV (34746) 2011-01-21 2:50

Hello Sascha,

A fine picture, but - more importantly - this is a very strong post. Take care!

danos (110407) 2011-01-21 4:16

Good morning Sasa,
nice snapshot with the old man to fix the old roof with the same old tiles.I like the light and the colour management as the clarity of the image.
The bombing of Serbia in 1999 was really a great disaster for the country with the cancer as you write in your note, to 'mow' the population.What a pity!

Have a good day,Danos

Angshu (56760) 2011-01-21 4:49

Hello Sasha
I like this picture...daily life activity, captured with good shutter speed to catch his hand in mid-air, as he lays the tiles. The play of shadows enhances the 3D feel. Good work, my friend!

Angshu

Hi Sasha
Une note bien triste, et l'image de ce travailleur sur le toit est tr鋊 belle, excellent d彋ails, nettet�, lumi鋨e et couleurs
Un bel hommage a toutes ces personnes disparue et une pens嶪 a leurs famille et amis qui on du avoir beaucoup de tristesse
Belle journ嶪

s_lush (16602) 2011-01-21 5:23

Hello Sasha,
Although in the note you say about very sad things, your sunny picture of a man repairing the roof is rather optimistic and positive. A very good idea, which was realized in highly artistic manner!
Best regards,
Sergiy

snunney (130967) 2011-01-21 5:28

Hello Sasha,
A good daily life capture of this roofer at work. I like the pose and the ability to see the timbers that are used to support the tiles. It would be nice to see some more detail in the shadow are of his face but that is only a minor point. Very good sharpness.

Juzo (2151) 2011-01-21 5:56

Hi Sasha,
I like this, now I see some people, a story of your fascinating country, a moment in life. Your note adds poignancy. I like this direction, a slice of life, something personal.
Cheers

Hello Sasha,

A sympatic scene of worklife very well collected. The attitude of the workman is well collected. good framing too and efficience managment of light under this beautiful sky. This light give beautiful color and contrast.
Have a nice WE,
Roger

PaulVDV (62810) 2011-01-21 13:46

Hello Sa惨,
Very beautiful daily life-picture of this roofer busy in his profession.
The underlying story is thoroughly sad and is a reality we never hear of in this country. Here we were explained only the version of the one who decided to bomb.
I'm really sorry Sa惨.
Let's hope and work for a better future for everyone, Paul

ciakgiak (30) 2011-01-21 14:14

Ciao Sasha,
questa � un'immagine bellissima, colta con grande bravura e notevole sensibilit�.
Il momento catturato � molto interessante, il tutto con una qualit� eccellente e colori bellissimi. Un caro abbraccio

chris04stop (6805) 2011-01-21 15:04

Bravo Paja! We have too, here, masters for our roofs. They are SO important! Because every year the ice is terrible for the roofs. I like your image, I like the face of this old man. He is doing so well his work!
A big hug,
Anna Paola

paololg (31448) 2011-01-21 16:09

Dear friend, I know a few the Serbia and its proud people, and I am convinced that soon this great nation will have the correct place in Europe. The wounds of 5 years of war and 15 years of isolation is not possible to forget in little time. All the wars are ugly, especially for the civilians. Also in Italy, after the WW2, people have escaped from the countries in the city, but from a few decades they are returned in the countries, where is possible get a best life. The same will also happen in Serbia, because the Serbia is not only Beograd.
I put the two points in every case, because this photo speaks more than the words.
Ciao, have a nice weekend!
Paolo

Dobro vece Sasa

Dobro jos uvek pamtim tu 99tu , kao klinac nisam ni znao sa mojih 8,5 godina sta ustvari znaci borbadovanje ali kako su stvari odmicale i rat nad nama ljudima zrtavama trajao kao pakao onih 77dana ako se не varam , shvatio sam da nam niko u tom periodu nije zeleo dobro...Velike posedice nakon toga , ispustanjem raznih susptanci na nasu zemlju kao sto si naveo veliki broj ljudi je zaradio i ako nije trebao tesku bolest pod imenom KANCER , posledice bombarddovanja i dan danas ima i to se oseca i vidi izumiranjem stanovnistva i malim brojem novorodjencad , samo oni sto su naredili taj zlocin znaju tacno kolike ce zrtve biti... A nama ostaje samo jedno a to je da se molimo bogu da nismo jedni od onih jadnih ljudi koji su vec preminuli od teske bolesti nastale nakon bombardovanja Srbije...

English - Google translate

Good evening Sasa

Well I still remember the 99tu, as a kid I did not know with my 8.5 years of what actually means borbadovanje but as things went on and the war against trafficking victims took us a hell of 77dana if I am not mistaken, I realized that no one in that we would not want good ... Great damage to health after that, dropping various susptanci on our country like you said many people have earned if you did not have a serious disease called cancer, bombarddovanja consequences to this day has to be felt and seen the extinction population and a small number of newborns, only those that have ordered this crime know exactly how the victims will be ... And we left only one and that is to pray to God that not one of those poor people who have already died of severe disease developed after the bombing of Serbia ...

adramad (72600) 2011-01-21 17:19

Hi Sasha.
Sad post on your note, which also agrees with the content of "pajaran" whose picture just discussed.
I like the picture with this man removing the roof and after what I read I do not know if it is to repair or salvage something.
It is unfortunate that after the suffering of the past, now being deserted villages go, it was a healthy lifestyle and would have to create measures to prevent this from happening, but everywhere the leaders in what they think is at least people.
Hard times, here also live a sad time, with many families without the need for unemployment, high crime and fewer illusions.
Let us hope that better times will come.
Have a nice weekend.
A hug my friend.
Luis.

siolaw (38294) 2011-01-21 21:03

Hi Sasha
A fine daily life capture of the man repairing the roof tiles.. I used to have the same tiles here in India and sometimes must repair it too for the monsoon rains!
Light and contrast are well managed to have visual impact.
Greetings
Laurent

AKITA (15125) 2011-01-21 21:20

dear Sa惨,
a beautiful picture of the nice man working on the roof,
old houses and old roofs must be preserved as good condition,
because those are precious and artistic like this,
your note is very meaningful here,
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

jhm (211734) 2011-01-22 0:26

Hello Sa惨,

The best is the truth about the houses in your country.
Sa惨, also in Belgium have we old houses, not everyone is rich.
I find this nice that you shows how the old people try to make a better house.
Splendid workers picture, sharpness and clarity make this attractive.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John

delpeoples (60342) 2011-01-22 2:31

Pozdrav dear Sasa

I wish your friend the roof mason would visit my house! With all the rain we have had here, my poor house needs new tiles :) Excellent Daily Life shot. It is a little bright on my screen, and could easily be darkened in post-processing. But the sharpness, composition and control of the shutter speed are all flawless.

TFS and I wish you a beautiful weekend
Lisa

jlbrthnn (76043) 2011-01-22 2:35

Hello Sasha,
I love that picture away from the artifice of cities and urban life. I can still see similar images in villages deep in the French countryside. I like the framing, the gesture of the old worker, and the colors and sharpness. Bravo.
Have a nice day
Cordially

Surely a nice dedication!
It's a good photo also - it shows how dangerous this work can be, especially in such an old roof! Very well framed!

Hello Dear Sasha
if there is no justice in any where,
poverty increases , wealth decreases
peace is disrupted, corruption increases
love decderation, enmity increases
Respect is reduced, theft increases
happiness decreases, barely increases.
assistance is reduced, jealousy increases
Photo at Uncle loneliness everything is very beautiful, short and in summary says it all .. Congratulations, Greetings ...

daddo (28748) 2011-01-27 19:33

Zdravo Sasha. Bombadirati iz daleka je lako- van vida, van misli i van osjecaja. Tako se dogodilo iz neba u Srbiji a i tako i u Sarajevu od brdama. A u Kosovu Albanska djeca se igraju po radioaktivnom terenu. Bog zna sto i njih ceka u vezi raka, pogotovo lukemije.Cujem da i u Dalmaciji rak se povecao jer bombaderi su bacali bombe u more prije nego sto su se spustali u Italiji.Taj prokleti rat nije nikome doneo dobro osim politicarima, black marketerima, plackalicama i generalima. Na zalost mi se cini da ta grozna prica ratovanja jos nije gotova ako evropa nam okrene ledja.Sto se tice slike, to je dokaz i rekordiranje da razni zanati nestaju i sa njima razni alati i materjali. Malp maznje i jos malo ponosa za rad ostaje. Glavno je profit a kao sto Amerikanci kazu- time is money. Jeste,moderni smo postali ljudi. Pozdrav prijatelju. Klaudio.

Hi Sasha. A very nice portrait of this working man. Great details, nice colors and a very good sharpness. It would be nice that more money and effort was spent on stoping the greatest didease mankind have created: WAR.
Take care, have a nice day and thanks for remembering.

dear Sasha,
thank you for sharing this to the world. This kinda photo and story is something we all need to learn and know about the world, beside of the expose of its beauty. I think we all can give contribution to this world thru our shots like this,
So sorry about what happened in your country. You are not alone. There are many others are still struggling, in same or different ways.

ChrisJ (171366) 2015-03-12 2:56

Hi Sasha,

A superb daily life scene of the freemason replacing the worn and broken roof tiles. I was not aware that the bombing is now causing cancer. My condolences to the people that have passed away. I was in Japan just a few weeks before Fukashima so I understand the concern. Even in nearby South Korea people were very concerned. I have since had my thyroid gland checked in 2 medical exams and all is well, touch wood. Tfs!

Matyas (0) 2015-08-15 0:44

Hello Sasha This valiant worker knows the adage "What was old will be new again". His low body weight is in accordance with the sad informations of your note. Touching scenery. Respect
