Great post. Reminds me of David Lynch's Masterclass where he describes the inspiration he took from industrial/drab Philadelphia that became the genesis for his film Eraserhead. Compelled me to begin to find beauty in things that, on the surface, don't seem beautiful.

Nice work Davor.

Loved this article Davor. Your photographs are an incredible punctuation of your words. I’ll be definitely leaning in more towards being more present when photographing older items to see where the aging process reveals the true beauty of the machine.

Thank you Davor, I will never look at rust the same way again. What I adore about you, is the fact that you can see, feel and breathe the beauty of anything. It’s so disheartening that so many are unaware of what resides around their world. There is beauty everywhere, but you must open the doorway to your soul.

Thanks Jo-Ann. It is really true that the beauty is everywhere. Taken to its end (although I cannot see it), I believe that everything is as beautiful as anything else, and, at the same time, it is as beautiful as it can be. Long story short: present moment is the most beautiful thing, wherever we are🌈

Rust is the autumn of metal. Beautiful pictures, and a captivating story, as always from you.

Thanks Jorgen! I love the “autumn of metal” analogy. I said that rust is like metal with wrinkles:)

The image on section 4 is quite nice. it appears to me as a line if trees and their river-surface reflection. Decay is a natural process. And yes, there is much beauty in it.

Yes, those vertical lines convey the sense of the passage of time. Thanks for reading!

I love rust. Makes perfect abstracts. And also regular metal, like the copper and aluminium surfaces Ester Besuijen made her self portraits in (see it in Darkrooms Magazine Issue #6).

Btw, I’ll definitely pay more attention to Darkrooms because you cover many interesting topics to me🙌
