love what I have read so far, and of course your images are always so compelling! I am cold and wanting some vodka while I read your passages…
Hey Marie, thanks. Tell me what you think of the rest…
Excellent!! Excellent!! stuff , wish there was a way to comment on each of the images put up in the Moskava feature, some of the images are very memorable.
Keep going
simply beautiful…..is all i can say…
I like how you tell us so much about Moskva, but in a secretive manner; Almost, like how Moskva really is… Of course, I was all lost in a lot of places. I had no clue about whom or what you were talking about, but that made me want to read it all over again, and I’m not sure if I still get it all!
“But most of all, the fact that the Soviets put their best art into the earth, for the common man. And that’s a beautiful idea, even if they managed to muck it up.” Is my fav line…but I guess will have another fav if I go through it again…
And it’s not just the writing..it’s the photos also. They leave you wanting to see a little bit more than what you actually see…’coz they tell a story without words.
And lastly, this post has more than just Moskva in it..
This is your best piece of work so far. It was unputdownable, and I hung on to every word, and spent a lot of time over every image.
It needs to be published as a book, needs exposure to a larger audience
Hi, my name is Olga. Now I live in Barcelona, but once I lived in Moscow. So happened that the people and stories in these photos are a big part of my life too. It’s amazing that someone saw so much about it and described. Thank you! This is indeed a matter of tears and before that I didn´t know how much I missed
What a brilliant picture. I really liked this one.
