The Russian church “St. Nikolay” is located in the center of Sofia, at the intersection of Rakovska and Tsar Osvoboditel streets. It is one of the most remarkable buildings in Sofia. It was built in the period between 1907 and 1914 by a project of the Russian architect M. Preobrazhensky on the initiative of the Russian Embassy and on his land.
The wall paintings are works of Russian artists, under the directions of Vasiliy Perminov. There are 4 icons on the iconostasis, which are copies of the icons in the Kiev cathedral “St. Vladimir”. The five small domes of the church are covered in gold, and the bells were donated by the Russian Emperor Nikolay the 2nd. Until 1947 in the temple worked monks from the so-called Russian Orthodox church abroad and the temple was а center for the numerous Russian emigrants in Bulgaria. It was handed over to the diocese of the Moscow Patriarchate after 1947, who has been managing it to the present day.
The grave of Archbishop Seraphim Sobolev is laid in the temple crypt. The archbishop was considered a miracle maker by many orthodox Christians. Even nowadays many people write letters to him, asking for help, and leave the letters near his grave, believing that he will help them. He led the Russian Orthodox communities in Bulgaria from 1921 to 1950.

I continue to explore textured layers. After re-processing a few images of Jane Archer, I thought I'd try the technique on Sofia.
There are many layers and at least four textures applied through heavily manipulated masks. Each layer has it's own BW sample colorized tone (some quadtone, some handmade tints). The base image is converted from color, contrast adjusted, selective unsharp masked, vignetted, and then tinted in a tone that prints pleasingly well on Epson Velvet Fine Art.

Sofia is a 9 inch Kruseling doll. I have several other dolls who are 8-9 inches tall, so I have clothes for her. The cowgirl outfit is a pair of jeans by Spampy Stuff, a shirt for Bratz Boyz, and a cowboy hat that fits my Lati Yellow SP. She wears the same size shoes as my Lati Yellow SP (34mm).

If you found this photo via a Google image search because someone on Craigslist is looking for a nanny but it sounds suspicious, your suspicions are correct. That Craigslist poster is a scam and they are NOT the family pictured here. I took these photos for my friends back in 2009 and they currently do not live in the US. I am disheartened that my images are used in such an awful manner and I apologize for the inconvenience.
