Island Life

These photos mean a lot to me not because I took them, but because of the people that are in them. For the 3 months I lived in Croatia, a lot of these people I saw everyday and would talk to them extensively. A lot of them lived through the Serbo-Croat War and it was very interesting listening to the stories they told. I was happy to find out they all had a pleasant demeanor about life and shared it with others. Most of the pictures you see from that region are desolate and depressing, so I wanted to show a community that went through the struggle, but is enjoying life. I have the utmost respect for everyone there because they treated me as one of their own and not judge me. I truly enjoyed my time and will always be thankful for the people I met. Volim te Hrvatska!

Nice set of portraits. I've spent a lot of time out in Croatia too and would completely agree with what you say about its people. Great place and well worth an extended visit! )
