Every day I discover something new for myself in Photoshop, for example, duo and triple color function, which I used processing this collage. This is portrait of Robert Sommer, chef editor of Austrian street newspaper 2Augustin” and one of newspaper distributers, diablled person standing at the corner at Mariahilfer Strasse. It seems, people tend to be kind more to the invalids and disabled. I always see one beggar in main street, who has obvious signs of had been ill with lepra, how it is described in novels, may be it was many years ago. And he always manages to touch heart of people passing by.

Incredulous world. Young beggar is very invading and has writing at his cap: “Fuck rules” Every time I appear in Graben, he begs for coins from me. I regretted very soon that I ever noticed him and decided to be charitable. In-born beggars sense very quickly who has no nerve to reject. I have strange feeling whenever I provide help to young strong men. I feel ashamed. Perhaps, my mother instincts are not so well developed. Later I came to conclusion, that not only beggars have their own life philosophy, but similar philosophy has newspaper that represents them. I say not a single word more. But Russians have proverb: Fish starts to decay from its head.
