Good day to you, dear visitor!

I'm an enthusiast photographer / camera geek from Moscow, currently working and living in Germany. As an adept of Aperture, Exposure and Focus, I enjoy photography in all of its forms: shooting and post-prosessing, film and digital, SLRs and rangefinders, classics and modern styles...

Photography to me is a sort of meditation, observing and describing the world around. Capturing reality with a click of the shutter is the most precious thing in photography. Well, that - and also the nice collectible gear :)

Please don't waste your time following me just to be followed back. I ain't playing these "follow-me-follow-you" games.

Cheers & have fun around!
