It is a rural area, with a widely scattered population throughout the countryside and with small villages at the borders. Since the revolution there have been many changes in this area; people are moving to the cities for employment and a more modern way of living, people from other countries are buying the land. People have their cottages and go here to relax during the weekends and holidays. The farming side is not supported very well, it is more difficult to farm and nature is used more for relaxation and holiday, even in the latest years more people started to understand of being closer to nature and they are moving here for not just temporary living.
I am trying to document the traditional way of life in this area, what is slowly disappearing and changing. On portraits are people who were born here and who worked here their whole life. I documented my area, life around.
