Born in Slovakia, Natalia is currently living in the Netherlands. As a child she was surrounded by amateur photographers, but it was only years later when she bought her first camera. Way back she knew she has ability to see and sense things around her differently. Music, visual arts and nature help her to perceive the world around.
We were driving towards the agricultural lands around the city of Abyek when we reached an abandoned garden, I looked at the trees and saw a horned owl and I was very excited. I got out of the car to take pictures and noticed 12 other owls that were all looking at me. I tried to take a picture calmly without disturbing them.
Photo was taken on february in my hometown Tbilisi. I stoped to look at this old man and in another moment he started a dialogue with me. He saw my camera and said that he was a photographer in his young ages. We had such a lovely conversation and then I took some pictures of him. He was so excited and happy when found himself in my lens. Great day and a great memory about a man who left a mark in my life and a great photo.
