School... when was it... childhood turned to adulthood like the blink of an eye and life after school became just a memory. How much would I give now to go back, at least for a long while, to those carefree days in the madness of playing in the school corridor between classes where the only worry was the study and homework that you did not always want to do thinking only of fun and spending time with peers....

And so one day ... the day I woke up, I decided to do a little tidying in the attic in my spare time, tidy up, arrange things, books, old documents and just my school things that were lying somewhere in a corner , not quite sorted as they should be. And then a thought occurred to me while sorting and looking through notebooks and books..... How about returning to the school corners after so many years ? see what has changed, remember some places and things, stand there in the school corridor and see it again after so many years only now so more from a photographic point of view....Yes ! ... I longed to return to the schools where I spent my best childhood years. I won't say I felt a little excitement because I knew that when I crossed the thresholds of the first school and looked at some places memories will come back immediately... And that's what happened when I saw the downstairs... first thought?..... I don't recognize the place ...what was here what is this place? is probably because the colors have changed .... once gray walls without color, today renovated but the accents of the past years stayed. But after a while, walking down the corridor looking at the door to the hall ... immediately returned memories. And so it was in subsequent places when I walked around remembering what classes I had here what I did here .... One of many such moments was when climbing the stairs to the first, second floor looking for interesting shots, a hall appeared before my eyes... I saw it from a distance standing on the half floor .... and then a shiver runs through me .... I freeze in stillness .... because it was a second when I exactly recall the image as I sit under the hall by the wall waiting for the lesson to start....There are also moments when more than once in dreams I am in this school running down the corridor towards the gymnasiums for gym..... and today I am here for real walking along this corridor and remembering everything as if it were yesterday. Rediscovering old corners and places after so many years from the perspective of photography brings with it a lot of wonderful memories, but also a lot of beautiful frames where once I did not notice it when I was a child and today it is a new discovery for me when I can visit the schools where I once learned and today again I can awaken memories and keep them in the frame in the way of photographs telling my own story of learning life of the youngest years spent in school buildings. These were the most beautiful days of childhood recorded in the school notebook of life.  

Creating the "school project" I knew that there were many interesting frames waiting for me in the body of architecture of school buildings , I just had to notice them and properly capture them where memories of years ago themselves directed me to take good shots.

The architecture of school corridors has its own interesting flavors and I am glad that I could discover them.
