October was a busy month. Things were constantly happening, both in the city and in my life, and after watching this month's photos, it feels a lot has changed. Some of the city's most important streets were under construction, so traffic was a huge problem. In the middle of that all sorts of events happened, from state holidays to protests. The weather was mostly nice, so these last warm days were perfect for shooting outside. I was able to catch some of the city chaos, but also to escape from it a few times.For me, there was work this month. Much of it was fun actually, and I got the opportunity to visit some unusual places. Also, there was time for photo expeditions and friends, so this month fun and photography intertwined. I like the results.The photography workshop I participate in made another exhibition this year. This exhibition was looking at the new architecture appearing in the old parts of the city and how it blends with the scenery. Although it wasn't meant to have a political context, there were problems and we couldn't exhibit in the space we initially intended to. The workshop continued, but for me this was a first time to experience censorship. I never thought this form of control exists and that someone could get censored for photographing something that everybody can see from various parts of town. Comparing to what doesn't get censored, this sounds silly, but probably the most important insight for me was that observing and recording what's happening around can be frowned upon, even if you are on a public space photographing something that might become a landmark once it's finished. Photographing changes around the city started making huge sense now that I know that the freedom of speech is limited and the 365 project got a completely new dimension after this experience.
