While taking a walk

Photography by

Snježana Tribuson & Hrvoje Turković

Opening Reception: Thursday, October 24, 2019, 7:00 pm

Exhibition accessible on appointment through November 10, 2019

Our photo-activity is mostly a ‘collateral activity’, photos taken with our iPhones (4, 5, 6) during our walks, in most occasions (especially Hrvoje) while waking a dog. During our walks we normally look around, and having iPhones at hand, occasionally take pictures of some nice, interesting or funny situation we notice and love. Sometimes we notice some nice sunny situation in the apartment we live in, and take a photo of it. Taking photos is a matter of enjoyment: enjoyment in what we see, and what we get with the efficient photos.
