Photogr8 Exhibition

Oh yes it happened indeed!

by Elina Pahumi

On the 10th of June 2010 Photogr8 had an exhibition in Orce Nikolov High School. It was our first time and we were exhibiting what we have come out with during our one month work. On the exhibition itself were presented many photos that were taken from most of the students and were shown two videos that were made thanks to our brilliant tutors and the students. Of course out creativity played a major part during the whole thing.

On the exhibition all of the participants in the project were present, and we were the hosts and the exhibitors of the same. Not many people came, but those who did gave very positive compliments about our work. Some of them even showed interest in joining us. After the exhibition finished everyone dived into the food and drinks at our humble little mini bar.

To sum it all up, the exhibition went great, we had a wonderful time and of course, it was a lovely new experience for all of us.

The photos of the Photogr8 exhibition are available to see in the Spanski Restoran.

Enjoy !!!!

....city life in Skopje

By Ciprian Pantea

We are all used to big cities where you can see people moving, cars horning, bikes speeding...noise and you try to get as far for some fresh air. I think that we can change this kind of environment if we really want too. We can try to change it in a way that we can enjoy the city life.

In this photo-session we combined city life with a photo-competition in which we tried to drawn the city life as it is, with its beautiful and with its sad parts. It is a part of us! We have to accept it in order to change it!

The power of Photography

Article by Ciprian Pantea

This is a lesson about what photography means by showing its true power. We all acknowledge it still we experienced it for real! Photography can change meanings and situation it can create persons that in reality does not really exist ... this is the true power of photography to change reality if the photographer really wants too. And sometimes we are prisoners of our own dreams images that make us fell beautiful, proud, pretty, sexy or images of famous people that we treasure like it is something very important. Photography as a substitute of what we don't have in reality.

How do you create that?!? This is a question that should not be asked!!!! Shhhhh .... It is thought the power of suggestion and thought the power of imagination and thought experience that comes in time. As well through camera philters and most probably image manipulation.

Photography is a powerful tool if you know how to use it.

Use photography wisely !!!

70´s Photosesion

A day in the past ...

by Ciprian Pantea

"Time is like a dandelion flake. You see the flake flying free and the warm summer wind and suddenly disappears in the big blue sky, as if it never existed. If by chance you capture it, will be just in some old photo or in your memory. The moment was there but it stopped to exist. It was the last beating of it’s heart."

Have ever tried to wear the clots of your parents or of your grandparents? Yes! Those old clots that have a strange smell and that lie somewhere in the attic or in some limber box. There where nobody bothers to go, except when we need something, we don’t find the thing that we are looking for but you we wake up in some mysterious world surrounded by old things that you don’t quite remember of. And you realize that it was a time when the things were different. Different habits, different clots and slowly you start to remember the old stories of your parents or your grandparents and you think of some ways to get in touch with that world.

Well the sad part is that we can’t actually go in that world. We can pretend that we are in that time of old. This is what we did and for a moment we felt in that time. With those old clots that give you the smell of ancient, with that old car that made us think of old times and past memories.

It was one day of actually acknowledged the importance of memories and past times…

Try it once and I bet you will try it again!!! We will for sure!!!

Social Habits and Environment

Slow Motion Video - Made by Cre8ive8 and Orce Nikolov High School

People do have funny habits and sometimes it is good to realize and take action for a social change. That's what we did!!! Habits like trowing cigarette filers or chewing-gum on the ground or the simple garbage that we leave after we had a nice meal outside in nature are some sort of habits that causes a lot of headaches and pain to people themselves but especially to environment. We have to be aware of the impact of our action and try to change the social behavior through youth and social activism. Environment's health means humanity's health and we have to care and act!

This is what we did!!!

Action to change !!!! Young people in the job of humanity!
