Kallypso, my dear self, you know that usually I start my everyday street hunt with great enthusiasm. But gradually becoming tired, struggling forward and finding nothing interesting to shoot, frozen, hungry, I feel misery. Shoulder with camera bag aches. It is not so easy to find original face in the street at all. After so many months of search, perhaps nobody knows that better than me. People tend to hide their peculiarities. But not only. Often they do not hide anything. They have standard appearance that reflects standard attitude, by other words, I dare say, people prefer not to burden themselves to be original. Therefore they look alike. They move from underground station till shop and back and have fewer differences in their looks than ants or autumn leaves. Only sometimes I am lucky to spot somebody standing aside from crowd, even if they have criminal aura like these two young gypsies. Woman is looking at me aggressively. I know that in criminal world women often are more ruthless and bold than men. The woman was afraid I am from press or police.

Present here my small side-show, may be it slows load of my website down, and I must update permalinks structure every time I switch new plugin on. What about my backside, does it look good?

The question of nudity on Internet is complicated one, one must think twice before put item of nudity within oneself website.

What will it change for you and your website? Will you obtain new professional contacts, or something like that, not speaking already, would you manage to sell more? Nope.

Following rules, I say honestly that this photo shoot Graz photographer Reinhard Sock and then it was processed by Vienna photographer Werner Braun

And phrase “Kirgisin in Wien” was invented by chef editor of newspaper “Augustin” Robert Sommer, who considered it to be the most interesting concerning my personality in whole, he offered me to make photo essay about horses in Vienna and write about horses masters. Robert was always full of new projects and ideas, which he could easily forget. He was the first newspaper editor with whom I talked in Vienna. As I remember, he was instantly taken aback by my offer to cooperate, but then corrected himself and was quite nice. We talked about possibility of new mutual projects. But that first moment of his intinctive negative reaction was somewhat significant for development of our business relationship

Whenever pink morning light transits to yellow of midday, and wind blowing from Schmelz stops bringing meditative tunes of kukus bird, I start my everyday journey. Mirror in my small flat is the gateway. I step behind it and as invisible clot of energy roll outside. Together with gust of wind I move along streets of Vienna and touch cheeks of passers-by with cool breathing of fog. I witness street life, its secrets and its drama.
Sometimes I occur to be that small beggar girl sitting at the corner of main street. She has cheap plastic doll in her pocket she wants very much to play with. For a while, I was also that woman in furs gazing at jewelry in window of fashionable shop. She seemed seized with anticipation to purchase precious thing.
I could be that invalid who crawled on his knees along Mariahilfer strasse and roared -Bitter!- with low hoarse voice. He had only one thought that after reaching the corner of Neubaugasse, he would make a break. (more…)
