Maybe this title may sound a bit exaggerated , but it is this way I think women are perceived at times! I'm not a feminist, never have I been (eventhough I wouldn't be embarrased to tell so if I was one) , but this is the disturbing reality. Happy women`s day to all!
Urban life has always grabbed my attention with it`s hiperactivity,variety,contrasts of living,beauty and ugliness.The name `tales` is actually used because i do believe that all of the above said elements and features make each city genuine on it`s own. Photos shown in this slideshow are photos of 18 different cities of Europe and Asia. The cities are written as below: Albania:Tirana ,Pogradec Iceland:Reykjavik,Haukadartur Belgium:Brussels ,Gent Germany:Berlin France:Paris Sweden:Gothenburg Denmark:Vraa,Aalborg Czech Republic :Prague Turkey:Istanbul,Vize,Capadoccia,Mardin Montenegro:Budva The Netherlands:Amsterdam
These photos have been taken in this last 3,5 years since i started to take photos more `seriosly`;) Most of them are taken with my point and shoot camera. Hope you`ll enjoy this `Urban Tales`

In english;
We invite the photographers' community to donate a photography and we will try to organize an exhibition to help the Shkodra citizens.
The idea is creating a mini-exhibition aiming to sell these photos which can cover any subject. The photos can be stock photos, portraits, landscapes and even photos from the floods' days.
Sent your photos at info@projekt56.com , subject of the e-mail NDIHMA PER SHKODREN.
We are trying to put together 50 that sell to organize an interesting exhibition that will help the damaged families.
I`m in love with everything vintage and i think this was one of the best vintage shops to visit.
You could find there different objects and also different kind of food,beverages and cigarettes.
But not only them of course;)Lots of toys, fancy toy saving boxes, colorful yarns , kitchen stuff etc etc.
If it was for me i`d spend a long long time there , having a look at every detail of this cute store.But the bus had to leave so i tried to get some photos to keep them in my mind ;)
For a moment i felt like Amelie that found that old box in her apartment ;)I couldn`t help it;) I hope you will enjoy looking at the photos too;)
Last weekend i had the chance to visit the city of Aarhus , one of the biggest cities of Denmark. The city gets the name from the river runing into it.
That`s why it reminded me of Amsterdam a bit because of its bicycles,river and some of its houses. It`s one of the most energic cities of Denmark thanks to the many students living here.Although we did not have a long time to visit it , i can say it was a lovely city, which i wish i will revisit soon. But what i want to talk about in this post , is the Old Town in Aarhus, a historic treasure.The town is celebrating its 100 anniversary. The town consists of 75 old houses , gardens,shops,workshops,and exhibitions.You can feel yourself living in an Andersen tale for a while;) There were different shops of different crafts there such as bicycle makers, shoe makers , tailors , coppersmiths, barber etc. I also found a photographers house:) It was so cool with great furniture and an old camera to die for. The houses were very lovely too and mostof them very well furnished.
The river passes between some of the houses and lots of swans and gooses made it even more lovely. When i saw them and the houses for a moment i felt myself like a protagonist at `Nils Holgerson` movie:))
There are different exhibitions and events being organized here and also picnik houses are available for the visitors . I think this is a ver very good idea.You can have your food in a very special old house .
Actually there are a loft of things to be told about this special city but i will leave this to the photos to show;)
One last info: The entrance fee is 11 euro for tourists and around 7.5 euro for students.

The autumn in Denmark is very lovely.This country is full with colors which during autumn enhance even more.
I love how it rains here , mild and slowly; it`s so peaceful.
I love the flavour of fresh cut grass and the fresh air.
In this post i`m sharing with you some of my photos taken in different zones of Denmark such as :Blubjerg,Vraa,Rold Forest etc.
Enjoy;)
The last assignment during our study trip in Prague was a half photo marathon.I say half photo marathon since the true one is supposed to last 24 hours , but ours was only 12 hours since it was our first time ;) We had to take only one photo for a different subject every hour. The subjects were decided by our teachers and i can say that some of them looked strange in my eyes first , but i liked them a lot after. Especially the `download me` theme amused me a lot , even though i found it quite different in the begining;) We could take the photos in digital or analogue , i took 11 photos in analogue and 1 in digital.Actually my aim was to get all of them in analogue, because that would be more challenging to me , a newbie in analogue and in fact i did, but i disliked the analogue version so i used the digital one instead . It was a tiring day full of surprises.It started at 10.00 am and was over at 10.00 pm. I took my last photo from the Charles Bridge (a so so photo in my opinion) and then rushed back to our appointment place. Below you may find the whole themes and their respective photos i took in 12 hours ;) Enjoy ps: i`m really curious to hear your intepretations on photos;)
Albanian digital and analogue photographer with a huge love for alternative printing process and all other avantgarde mixed media techniques.
