The event was led and presented the work of the Association of Serbian PHOTO by Nenad Nikolic , the Secretary of the photography contest and he is noticed:
“We are gathered out, attracted by the game of light and shadows, as fragile as butterfly wings over the flame of a candle.
We`ll never forget the magic kaleidoscope, such as bees never forget how to build honeycombs. Come together to experience the light, challenging the darkness.
Because, until we do not forget to play – there’s life in us .”
The success of the event partially contributed to the professors Živojin Velimirovich (violin) and Ladislav Mezei (cello), performing compositions by Haydn and Vuckovic .
However, this Salon was a great opportunity to learn something new about photographic art of all our colleagues around the world.
