Life as a videotape.
I’m not in the habit of saving photos for long years, but I like to make videos about everything around. Hi, my name is Julia and I want to capture places on my camera. In between all photos of landscapes, buildings, and panoramas, I’m happy in finding beauty in a small thing. They are everywhere, sometimes you just need to look around. In a bunch of branches, you can find so many interesting details. Spots, mushrooms, lichen, dry leaves. You can spend hours but will notice new details again and again. How can you describe the tree colors? Brown, green, grey…but if to come closer we will see thousands of different hues. Texture and shapes beckon the eyes and want to take your attention forever on them. My passion is mosses and lichens. It’s like discovered a new planet. And also you can create a new landscape from it, just add some imagination. Now I’m traveling and want to capture every new place, little thing, and mood on my videos. My first stop in Poland was on the farm far away from the center. It was my first farm-life experience and I saw a lot of new things and get unique knowledge. I’ve heard how rooster crowing in the morning, learned how to make a bee-houses, how to plant, and how to feel yourself when it’s only trees around. To feel the peaceful mood and meet two funny dogs you can on my video here: Now I’m in a new place, teach English, enjoy the views of nature and have a new aim – to make a video about this place. So if you need an English teacher or somebody to help you to capture the life around you – you know where you can find me. Thank you for your attention!
