Glad to say that 14 of my prints have been included in the holdings of the main state museum of art in my region! Previously, only paintings and graphics (including paintings by Malevich and Kandinsky) were kept there. But this year they decided to create an art photography collection as well. They took fourteen of my works, which had previously been exhibited. Also included were prints by Alexander Rodchenko, which were handed down by his heirs.

I have to say that the museum chose mostly my old black and white works (2017 - 2021), although I'm working more with colour abstraction now. Perhaps this was motivated by the fact that these black and white prints have better preservation.

Thank you very much! I have a few ground rules:
1. it's better to have a small and inexpensive camera that you can always take with you than a big and expensive one that lies at home.
2. You don't need to take pictures of beautiful views. You should try to find unimportant details in the street that people usually do not pay attention to and pass by. And try to turn these details into an interesting photo.
3. Pictures taken outdoors are often half-finished, they need refinement.
4. When I refine a shot, I emphasize the accents and remove unnecessary details. A photograph should evoke a maximum internal response.
5. When I post a photo, I get feedback, rate it and then delete 9 out of 10 photos.
