Frameworks have been all around me
Ever since I can remember. There was always
A framework that I felt committed to –
Kinder garden, school – and every time one has ended
and I felt that freedom is at reach – I learnt
that I am just entering a new one.
Deferent and yet – a framework.
And then I understood the secret. Its not
a framework, it’s a frame of mind.
I need to break my own framing
And then these frameworks will be my
runway to take off.

Moscú - Moscow - Москва
Kolómenskoe o Kolómenskoye (en ruso Коло́менское), situada en la elevada orilla derecha del río Moscova, es la antigua residencia suburbana de los grandes duques y zares de Rusia. Sus torres y torretas, iglesias y aposentos se divisan desde lejos. Hoy día es un museo nacional al ser un monumento de la arquitectura rusa de los siglos XVI–XVII. La iglesia de la Ascensión de Kolómenskoye fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 19941
La primera mención de Kolómenskoe aparece en el testamento del príncipe moscovita Iván I de Rusia (Iván Kalitá) y data de 1336 y 1339. Según la leyenda, el poblado Kolómenskoe fue fundado a fines de 1230, aquí se había asentado la población huida de la invasión tártara de Batú (1237–1238). Kolómenskoe siempre «se consideraba de soberanos», es decir pertenecía a los príncipes, después a los grandes príncipes y por fin a los zares y emperadores.
En 1530, cuando nace Iván —el futuro Iván el Terrible— el hijo de Basilio III de Moscú, se establece la sucesión hereditaria. En honor del nacimiento del heredero del trono ruso se ponen los cimientos de la iglesia de la Ascensión. Y se crea una verdadera joya arquitectónica del siglo XVI, cuya forma piramidal transmite a la iglesia una elegancia exquisita. La iglesia de la Ascensión sirvió de modelo para todas las construcciones con techumbre piramidal en Rusia (en ese caso el templo está rematado por un tejado alto en forma de tienda poligonal).
Durante muchos años, Kolómenskoe fue una residencia suburbana de los zares, donde pasaban el verano. Aquí en muchas ocasiones permanecía Pedro I, descansaba Catalina II y sus nietos.
El primer palacio de madera donde residió el zar Alejo I (Alekséi Mijáilovich) quedó desmontado. Algún tiempo después en este solar fue edificado el segundo palacio para Catalina II que posteriormente fue derrumbado. No obstante, el paso del tiempo y los cambios sociales llegaron a destruir todo.
En la época de los Románov (dinastía Románov) se fueron construyendo varias dependencias: la Torre del Agua (1640), el almacén de víveres, las Cámaras de coronel, la cocina y otras instalaciones. Todos los monumentos conservados (la lista incluye más de 20) son testigos venerables de los tiempos pasados.
En 1923 se inauguró el Museo de arquitectura en madera al aire libre. En el recinto se encuentran las muestras de las construcciones de madera de Rusia Antigua. Es de destacar así llamada la Casa de Pedro I, traída de la norteña ciudad rusa Arjánguelsk, y la torre con puerta del monasterio de San Nicolás de Korela (1691–1692).
En el poblado de Diákovo (cultura arqueológica del siglo VII a. C.), separado de Kolómenskoe por un barranco profundo, en el siglo XVI fue erigida la iglesia-campanario con advocación de San Juan Precursor, compuesta de cinco torres octaédricas unidas por una sola base.
Hoy, Kolómenskoe es un lugar muy querido por los moscovitas para pasear y celebrar las fiestas consagradas a efemérides históricas.

Kolomenskoye (Russian: Коло́менское) is a former royal estate situated several kilometers to the southeast of the city center of Moscow, Russia, on the ancient road leading to the town of Kolomna (hence the name). The 390 hectare scenic area overlooks the steep banks of the Moskva River. It became a part of Moscow in the 1960s.
Kolomenskoye village was first mentioned in the testament of Ivan Kalita (1339). As time went by, the village was developed as a favourite country estate of grand princes of Muscovy. The earliest existing structure is the exceptional Ascension church (1532), built in white stone to commemorate the long-awaited birth of an heir to the throne, the future Ivan the Terrible. Being the first stone church of tent-like variety, the uncanonical "White Column" (as it is sometimes referred to) marked a stunning break from the Byzantine tradition.
The church reaches toward the sky from a low cross-shaped podklet (ground floor), followed by a prolonged chetverik (octagonal body, and then an octagonal tent, crowned by a tiny dome. The narrow pilasters on the sides of the chetverik, the arrow-shaped window frames, the three tiers of the kokoshniks and the quiet rhythm of stair arcades and open galleries underline the dynamic tendency of this masterpiece of the Russian architecture. The whole vertical composition is believed to have been borrowed from hipped roof-style wooden churches of the Russian North. Recognizing its outstanding value for humanity, UNESCO decided to inscribe the church on the World Heritage List in 1994.
Tsar Alexis I had all the previous wooden structures in Kolomenskoye demolished and replaced them with a new great wooden palace, famed for its fanciful, fairytale roofs. Foreigners referred to this huge maze of intricate corridors and 250 rooms, as 'an Eighth Wonder of the World'. Although basically only a summer palace, it was the favorite residence of Tsar Alexis I. The future Empress Elizabeth Petrovna was born in the palace in 1709, and Tsar Peter the Great spent part of his youth here. Upon the departure of the court for St. Petersburg, the palace fell into disrepair, so that Catherine II refused to make it her Moscow residence. On her orders the wooden palace was demolished in 1768, and replaced with a much more modest stone-and-brick structure.
Detailed plans of the Alexis I palace survived. The Moscow Government has completed a full-scale reconstruction in 2010. The rebuilt palace stands approximately 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) to the south of its original location near the White Column, in order to preserve the historic foundations. The palace erected by Catherine the Great in 1768 was demolished in 1872, and only a few gates and outside buildings remain.
During the early Soviet period, under the initiative of architect and restorer Pyotr Baranovsky, old wooden buildings and various artifacts were transported to Kolomenskoye from different parts of the USSR for preservation, so currently Kolomenskoye Park hosts an impressive set of different constructions and historical objects.
Sony Alpha 100 DSLR plus Minolta 28mm f2.8 prime lens.
Introduced in 2006 following the acquisition of Konica Minolta's camera assets, the A100 DSLR had been in development at Minolta. It brought to Sony, Minolta's legacy in camera and lens, design and engineering.
Recent acquisition for not a lot of money. You can tell it's mostly Minolta, the anti-shake is Minolta's, the control and menus. The scene logos are Minolta's going back to early DiMage cameras. The shutter, control wheel, eye-start and of course the AF mount. Sony's contribution was the sensor and the image processor.

Walks along the riverbank near the village and warm autumnal tones shimmer off the water surface. I just liked the interplay of light as a pair of mute swans weaved their way under the bridge. Frames within frames perhaps.

Dr. Elliot McGucken's Fine Art Landscape & Nature Photography for Los Angeles Gallery Show !
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" which is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!
New Instagram!
Videos!
I booked a major photography show at a major LA gallery in December! Will also be giving some lectures on the story--the Hero's Odyssey Mythology--behind the photography!

Love teh super sharp Sony 16-35mm Vario-Tessar T FE F4 ZA OSS!
Taken from the photography exhibition "Bangladesh in Frames 3", held in Drik Gallery, Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh from March 25 - March 29 2011. Organized by TTL. It was a good memory. A good number of visitors were there. I was trying to get them in slow shutter while they were visiting the photos.
One of my photos was there. Though that was taken by mobile from “Walk in the Past”. Feeling great to be a part of it.
