Ever since I’ve been travelling with my kids to the sea by car, the place where to take a break is something I plan in advance. At least a short break, to make the trip to the sea bearable for myself and for them. And we don’t spend our breaks in restaurants by the road, or at those nearby resorts, I have never done it on my own either. If I’m taking a break, I want it to be a good and refreshing one for all. The first thing I do is to find the mountain that we need to cross on our way to the sea, or a rustic village at the mountain’s foot. Once I find a place convenient for the break, I’m looking for a swimming pool there. Why choosing a mountain and swimming for a break on your way to the

Od kada putujem na more sa decom kolima, uvek isplaniram unapred gde ćemo praviti pauzu. Makar i na kratko, da olakšam i njima i sebi put do mora. Ne ne, ne pravim pauzu u restoranu kraj puta, niti na odmaralištu u blizini, to nisam radio ni kada sam bio solo. Kada već pravim pauzu gledam da to bude kvalitetni predah i osveženje za sve. Prvo što uradim je da pronađem koja je to planina na putu do mora ili etno selo u podnožju planinskog centra. Zatim kada pronađem ono što mi je prisutpačno vremenu koje imam za pauzu, tražim bazen. Zašto da izaberete planinu i plivanje za pauzu na putu do mora, umesto restorana? Idelana kombinacija za pauzu do mora je planina i bazen. Zašto? Zato što će vam s

Dženifer Kapala je višestruki dobitnik nagrade za dečiju i porodičnu fotografiju, a 2014. godine je osvojila nagradu Dečiji fotograf godine, koju dodeljuje Nacionalno udruženje dečijih fotografa, a takođe je i ambasador tog Udruženja.

Dženifer Kapala za Swimming Dad kao #Blog gost, otkriva koliko je umetnost, a koliko veština uhvatiti momenat “odrastanja” ispod vode, kao i na koji način roditelji mogu sami da zabeleže podvodnu foto avanturu sa

When the baby arrives, mum and dad get a «photo fever», which never stops shaking them. I am one of them. Like most parents, I’m trying to catch every single moment by taking photos both in the sand and in the water. A new step, turn, smile, jump.. It is so true that time flies so quickly from diapers to swimming suit, from their first step to the first stroke. This is why every single nice shot taken at the pool makes me happy and brings those magical moments back. This is my amateur experience about taking photos and swimming. It is not about the professionals with the latest photo equipment, but parents, mums and dads wanting to memorise the moments spent with their kids at the pool. Taki

Kada stigne beba, mama i tata dobiju «foto groznicu», koja mi se čini nikada ne prestaje. Taj sam. Kao i većina roditelja pokušavam da uhvatim svaki dečiji momenat fotografijom kako u pesku, tako i u vodi. Novi korak, okret, osmeh, skok...

Ovo je moje amaterskom iskustvo o slikanju i plivanju. Ovde nije reč o majstorima svog «zanata», sa profi foto opremom, već roditeljima, mama i tatama koji žele da sami zabeleže dečiji trenutak kraj bazena.
