11x14" Prints on Arista EDU Ultra RC paper

I'm out of Ilford MG IV paper and switched to Arista EDU Ultra. All I have now is 11x14 inches. Last weekend I printed a few frames from 2012 and they came out fine. The prints are somewhat more neutral compared to Ilford (I use LPD developer in 1:4 dilution) and the image takes longer to appear in developer, but otherwise the paper is great. The office scanner I used does not do the prints justice, but that is what I have for this bigger format.

Books I published in IPAD format

I converted all books I published on Blurb to Ipad format.

"Nash Chelovek v Miami" can be translated from Russian as "Our Man in Miami".
It is a heading of an article on my photography and other things just published in "Kazan" magazine. "Kazan" is a paper publication on art and culture; it is based in my native town of Kazan, Russia (Tatarstan province). Here is the link to the web version of the article:

Wasington D.C.

The photo is from the previous visit to Washington, D.C. in July 2009. We were there to submit the papers for out Russian passports. This weekend I went to Washington D.C. again to collect my passport at the Embassy. Yes it is this sloow. It is truly the Russian way of doing official business. But I finally have it and will (hopefully) leave for Russia in 10 days to see my relatives and friends -- first time in 8 years.

Shoot some Tri-X rolls in the streets, it was fun and the weather was good and sunny.

Word on food: for the sushi I recommend a small sushi bar in the Union station (#124 located at the first level). Not the best sushi I tried in my life and they have no hot tea, but the sushi are fresh and tasty and very cheap:

This picture was waiting for me to take on one of the hot September mornings in 2009, in the lobby of Government Center building. Luckily I had my Bessa L loaded with some Kodak Tri-X 400.

Blame capitalism!

I was walking down Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami and saw these kids protesting. No doubt the capitalism is the one to blame:)

These 2 pictures are from North Miami Beach, Florida. I took them subsequently in 5 minutes and they somehow formed a duo, at least to me. Enjoy.
