just a fall something

this one i altered a lot in PS cause it turned out that the light meter in my camera broked and i had just to guess the exposure, but I really like the picture ....

the city at night

the city at night, it just feels and looks so different from what it looks like during the day. i am sure that a lot of people have noticed that already, but there is something magically-frightening in the city....it's dynamics, it's people, ... everything is so different from the county. But at night it just turns into something so different, with it's randome lights, cars, people, buildings, alleys it looks like some place in times where I've never been before.....

summer

i took these pictures with my old "Zenit 11" film camera. This is the only one that is still sort fo working, cause all the other ones have broke and they guy who ususally fixes my cameras, told me that my cameras are too old to fix them, and you can no longer find parts for them. I really miss my Minolta a lot... but there is nothing that can stop me from taling pictures, so i think even with crappy camera i will still try to sqeeze everything out of it.the bicycle on the street of Buhara
old fortress that was destroyed by M. Frunze (soviet general) in Buhara
just a little car that someone forgot about in one of the court yards in Bishkek, i was wondering if the owner is still alife when i was taking that picture, or may be he bought a new fance mercedes now...who knows

simple truth

...and you said I know that this will hurt

but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse

If the burden seems too much to bear

Remember

the end will justify the pain it took to get us there...

this winter was really cold, i mean it still is, and i just wanted to share with you a little bit of that "coldness", i think a lot of pictures though would still look warm to you (may be), but this winter in kyrgyzstan was the coldest winter in the last 20 years i think.

most of the pictures are from the area where i live (the microdistrict called Alamedin-1, which local people for fun call L.A.medin) and some of them are from Uchkun, which is where our team stayed, untill the furnace blew up, and the temperature inside was really close to outside temperature.
