About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be open-minded

ABOUT ME

I was born in Leningrad, USSR. I never changed my hometown, but this city and this country not exist now.
I live in St. Petersburg and I believe it's the best city to live in Russia.
I finished local BSTU university as a radio engineer and very proud about it. But I work in a bit different field, as a process engineer.
Also I studied as a photojournalist. I wanted to be photographer for some geographic magazines.
After finishing university I spent 1 year in Israel. The plan was to photograph some good photo stories. It was the best part of my life. I like this country a lot and visit it sometimes. I met lots of interesting people, spent days with Samaritans, Drouzes, Bedouins and others. There I learned my English and Hebrew.
When I came back to Russia I decided to be an engineer again.

Interests

Photography. I started to do B&W pictures at the age of 13. Get a photojournalist education at the age of 23, but later decided to be an engineer. So photography is still my hobby.
Sports. I like to go to gym, hiking, rock climbing, roller skating, cycling, etc.
