Elena.

Elena is the loveliest girl I have ever met. She is my favorite model and she knows it! She chooses her best dresses every time she knows she will meet me. She is my husband's niece and she is absolutly gorgeous.

There is her mom and grandmom. I like how much happiness this picture shows. 

These eyes will break not only one man's heart.

If you are in a bad mood, walking on the street in rainy weather makes you feel even worse. You see puddles, a wet road, and people are walking really fast trying to get home as soon as possible. But stop! Look through the puddle at the reflection of houses, trees and concentrate on flowers and you will realize that rain makes them alive. Then you stop being angry with the rain, and you are standing and watching how drops fall on the ground. You become calm and forget about your problems, you are just enjoying this moment.

Arizona's nature is so completley different from anywhere I was before.There is a constant blue sky and enless dry grass.

I love shooting in macro. Everything that seems so common and trivial that we don't even see sometimes on the pictures comes out like a new story, a different world.

 This kitty was born to be a model. He was posing for the camera constantly.  I love his blue eyes in contrast with his red fur.

"Умом Россию не понять,
Аршином общим не измерить:
У ней особенная стать —
В Россию можно только верить."

It's impossible to understand Russia, you can only believe in it, said russian poet Tyutchev. My heart is in Russia.

 

 

  

 No, Russia is not only "snow, bears, Putin and vodka"

 It is warm sometimes in Russia as well.

September morning in Moscow. It was really hard to get up that early on that weekend, but I think these shots were worth it.

  

 This picture reminds me of Canada for some reason

 

 Typical russian houses in the 1960s.

 

In the summer in Moscow people gather at this fountain since its in the center of the city, very close to the metro, and right near the mall.

I love this place; the bridge where couples come on weekends just to enjoy the romantic atmosphere and beautiful view of the Moscow River.
