Passion for life? What is it? Sounds super fancy. I, sometimes, find myself not very passionate. And most likely those moments just feel like nothing. Like: yeeahh, I am here, I am doing this and that, but I am not excited/passionate about it. I am just doing something. But sometimes! I find myself full of life! Mostly when I help/share/care, that truly makes me passionate. That’s why I think it… Keep Reading

When I started teaching my first students I realized how much thinking and analyzing I actually do, not only in photography, but just in life. Our life is made of decisions, and we are making them everyday. Very interesting to think sometimes how would your life go, if you would make a different decision, where would you be. There are infinite ways your life could turn and each second is… Keep Reading

Sometimes we need to fight for our happiness, not always physically, but mentally for sure. It’s not easy to keep running when you weren’t resting for a few days, but you gotta keep running. You might need to run a little slower sometimes, maybe stretch your legs while running, or control your breathing better, but keep running. I want to stop so bad sometimes, but I know I have to… Keep Reading

I am slowly getting used to the USA. Just right now! Only after almost 4 years. I am starting seeing things I haven’t noticed before about culture and mentality. I am also starting noticing that many of the routine things, I have done daily in Russia, are happening here every day as well, like unlocking the door when there is no outside light, or cutting a tomato (well, it’s a… Keep Reading

Have you noticed how easy it is to become unconscious of your surroundings? It’s all our mindset, for sure, but our life is so crazy now, very fast. Maybe just mine though.. I feel like I am losing self-awareness pretty often and I wanted to share with you a few things I am doing everyday to feel more relaxed, conscious, and free from the things I HAVE TO DO: -At… Keep Reading

I thought today about how much humanity depreciated everything. We go to the stores and say that it doesn’t worth the money. Is not it funny? Let’s see the simplest example… You go buy a cup of coffee. To get the coffee to you, someone on the other side of the earth should have grown and picked the coffee beans, clean them; then someone else should have packed and deliver… Keep Reading

Hi, Friends! As many of you know I love too think and I sometimes come up with pretty cool short phrases that nobody knows about, but they may help you sometimes! I would love to share them. But I should notice that originally they are in Russian and I will try my best to translate them while keeping “the meaning”. Some of them won’t make any sense in English, so… Keep Reading

Hey guys! Just for a second imagine spending a night in a field without any artificial source of light, can you imagine how almost impossible that was not to die at night? But humans were falling asleep! Imagine, what a long way we have gone since then, and now we can just live without even thinking about death from a wild animal. Is not it a pleasure? People were never… Keep Reading

Wondering what you need to get such a cute photo? -Happy child. -Little flower. -Love. You know what is most important? Love. Kids feel it. They feel everything- your attitude, your thoughts, your passion, and your sincere kindness.

We all know life is crazy now. People don’t have time to stop and breathe deeply inside even a few times. We live at times of unstoppable movement. We need to move to survive. We all know. But sometimes… We move to fast and stop looking at where we are actually going. Why? And what is the purpose? Are we doing it for good or bad? Will that make us… Keep Reading
