Hi! To be short - I work in IT, but my passions are photography and cosplay (you can see my photos here - http://cxalena.gallery.ru). Merging my passions I met a lot of interesting people, and fell in love with culture to the point of organizing a yearly cosplay event in Gomel.

I'm disabled person with limited ability for walking, but I feel perfectly driving a car, communicating with people, trying a lot of different activities, etc.
