How did a landowner and I join forces to develop a rural area with photography and horseback riding?
In Bulgaria we have a pretty serious problem with politicians... They don't care at all about the fertile land given to us by God. The villages are depopulating, and the cities are already too cramped for all those who want to work for easy wages as shop workers.
And we could have been Switzerland in the Balkans...
We have so many children playing on phones all day long in kindergartens, families, and on the streets... If state policy aimed at educating young people in patriotism, would it be much different?
Emily Vasileva and I have known each other for several years. She is a horse racer and I am a photographer. A few months ago she married a young landowner who inherited some land. While creating a photographic story, we started talking about what all these beautiful fields would be used for, and she had no idea. Well, I immediately got involved!
We already have a manege and bales set up.
At the riding school, Emily trains children with cerebral palsy. Riding helps the bones a lot. So, if there is a will, a way will be found! We need to save the villages from extinction. This is very important, because without farmers we will eat chemically created foods and in years our insides will be plastic.
