He was holding his hands crossed behind the back of his head and looking straight up. Beautiful moment. He looked at me when I pointed my camera at him...of well...I took it anyway.

The Machine to live in...
Born in 1957 in Soviet
I have been using the media as an amateur for the most of my life and came to a serious photography in late 90s. But it had not become my passion until after moving from Russia to the USA I started the “Walking downtown” project related to the urban environments and to the interaction of humankind with the “machine” it build to “live in”.
The project had resulted in 2 books I have published:
“La Machine a Habiter”
"Selected photographs"
I have never stopped and still working today along the same lines.
The primary subject is an American downtown as a place where nothing considered to be permanent and indispensable, where people seem to be small and unimportant part of the structure, almost parasites in the huge body made of white metal, dark glass and artificial stone.
The only way one survives in this strange machine is by carrying a home, the real one – inside. We carry our homes like hermit-crab carries its shell. I know this because I am the one who still carries the same one‑story wooden house with extra attic room once been mine...
