Nate's Photography from Kosovo at New Kosova Report

As a photographer, to lose myself and open my sensitivity to this foreign land allowed me to practice my passion in a most ideal situation.With no deadline or need to illustrate ‘the story’, I was able to photograph from feelings alone. I went to Kosovo to learn about myself in photographing others. I found affirmation in my practice and belief in photography.

    Spillville Iowa as photographed by Nate Howard

    Nothing fancy here.
    Spillville, Iowa is a small town in northeast Iowa. If a tourist comes to town, they will visit the Bily's Clock Museum featuring hand carved wooden clocks by two bachelor farming brothers.
    In the same building as the museum is where Antonín Dvořák lived with his family. The great composer from Prague, then New York City, wanted to listen to the birds again.
    He spent the summer of 1893 with his family in the Czech-speaking community of Spillville, Iowa, to which some of his cousins had earlier immigrated. While there he composed the String Quartet in F (the "American"), and the String Quintet in E flat, as well as a Sonatina for violin and piano.

    Mitrovica Kosovo and the Media Theatre

    www.natehoward.com

    In this corner (the north of Kosovo) weighing in with some blabber from Russia... the Serbs of Mitrovica.

    And in this corner (the south part of Mitrovica) weighing in with the powder puff, marshmallow tossing U.N. and NATO... the Albanian Kosovars.

    Folks, it looks like this could go many rounds as the U.N. team is showing amazing stamina with assistance from many coaches and trainers at their side. And for the Serbs, well, they have only one coach in the corner who I can't imagine really gives a shit about 30,000 Serbs in southern Serbia, or Northern Kosova, or Kosovo, but as a matter of showing their oily muscles they are propelling the hope of the passionate Serbs.

    And in the middle of the ring, the media. The tight pictures of the theatrics performed just for us. And another flag (the U.N.'s) is burned, which took a while and it seemed to be made of a flame resistant material.

    But then the younger crowd appeared and dressed as angel, one man delivers a white box labeled, "Pandora's Box". More creative but did they have to take a line from Russia?

    It is quit a show folks, yet ticket sales are down as the U.S. is hosting the popular show at this time. The match between Hillary and Obama, and some mention of a John McCain? Whoever he is?
    With some violence on the Kosovo/Serbia front, it seems more spectators are arriving.
