I took this picture in the courtyard my house, here we see only the mother with two children and a bullet hole created in 1993. Image who is also the question "someone is missing"? It looks like a picture of a war that happened a long time ago and does not speak of disfigured faces and massively images that make shudder, but wants to make us reflect on the life of a family, if I may say "quite normal" that now fights with "immobility "the country where the war has passed and it's over, and what is obvious, it did not bring anything useful. Now the eyes of the world turn to some other war, and one that was no longer news. The house of my parents is located in central Bosnia, and the bullet hole is real.

I took this picture in the courtyard of my house, it's rapresent we see only mother with two children and a bullet hole created in 1993. Image who is also the question "someone is missing"? It looks like a picture of a war that happened a long time ago and does not speak of disfigured faces and massively images that make shudder, but wants to make us reflect on the life of a family, if I may say "quite normal" that now fights with "immobility "the country where the war has passed and it's over, and what is obvious, it did not bring anything useful. Now the eyes of the world turn to some other war, and one that was no longer news. The house of my parents is located in central Bosnia, and the bullet hole is real. The first thing that is cut off to people in places where war breaks out, are their dreams! Here I am referring first of all to children and adolescents. I grew up in Bosnia in the Balkans war, and I remember feeling that changed my life forever. I was more or less ten years old when I realized that i don't have a any guarantee for future, not to be able to plan or dream anything, because tomorrow may not be there for me. This is why I consider it important to emphasize this aspect of the family and what affects the precariousness of a future in people's lives, especially the younger ones.Editing
I did not make any particular changes, I worked on the contrasts to enhance the photo's character and to define the blur better. I've eliminated some superfluous details that could have diverted attention from important things on the picture.In my camera bag
I used my Canon 760D with a simple 50mm canon and a 15-85 canon. I also have a trio tripod, of modest quality. Nothing more.Feedback
Give priority to the research and exploration of humanity in all forms of expression. To communicate what is true of man and, above all, that which has an ethical value. I think the body is thirsty to rediscover man-man, not the heap of meat devoured by his desires and prey of consumerism. I try to make photography more human, and for me is a wonderful to see any kind of art, be more "useful" for a people.
