Marco Benedetti Switzerland 2nd Place - Merit of Excellence Portrait Amateur "Eskimo" "Eskimo" : a portrait like a magnificent arctic landscape, this pure, frozen beauty, distant and not always sharp. Faces that remind of the earth after the ice blizzard, empty, calming, striking in their cold perfection, welcoming but carrying a veil of sadness. An inner travel to dream of icy lands. |

Herman Cater Slovenia 3rd Place - Honor of Distinction Portrait Amateur "AT THE EDGE OF LIVING, IN 200 YEAR OLD HOUSE IN SLOVENIA" This photo is from a world success series named “Forgotten. Mr. Stanko’s Last Days”. One hour walk from the nearest village in the mountains in the middle of nowhere I met an 80 year old man. His name was Stanko. His house was more than 200 years old. I was shocked when I saw the inside and could not believe somebody can live like that in Europe in 21st century. The walls were yellow, green and black, and the windows were small and created very special light emphasizing what I saw in the house. I felt a great pain when I found out he died. I still remember his eyes. They were like mirrors. Named after the generic term Mr. X., to me Stanko could embody all old and poor people. Photographing Stanko and listening to his stories was a great experience for me. It forced me to intensively think about life values. The collection is also a sociological study. It influences the spectator to think about it. |

Herman Cater Slovenia Nominee Portrait Amateur "MR. X " This photo is from a world success series named “Forgotten. Mr. Stanko’s Last Days”. One hour walk from the nearest village in the mountains in the middle of nowhere I met an 80 year old man. His name was Stanko. It is a sad story. I learned that he had nine children, but nobody would take care of him. His wife died long ago. He had little money and would spend all on cigarettes and wine. Living alone in nature made him happy. He had some land and sheep. The winter of 2008-2009 was very harsh, with no heater and unable to make fire, he sadly died of cold. I felt a great pain when I found out he died. I still remember his eyes. They were like mirrors. Named after the generic term Mr. X., to me Stanko could embody all old and poor people. Photographing Stanko and listening to his stories was a great experience for me. It forced me to intensively think about life values. The collection is also a sociological study.
