About me:
I was born in Tbilisi in 1947 and never thought that I’d take camera in my hands untill the age of 32.I got technical education and worked as an engineer for a few years, when my first child was born and I started taking his photos with my old soviet SLR.
After I realized, that taking pictures of my family only does not satisfy me anymore, I’ve chosen press-photography as my future profession and next 25 years was occupied only with photojournalism. And only 3 years ago I realized, that photojournalism is not the only kind of photography on the earth. But I still think that documental photography is elite one. And I don't like words like "Art Photography", "Photo Artist".
My favorite camera is Nikon F3, but I’m using other cameras as well, including digital SLR and large format cameras. Not so far ago, somebody gave me a bunch of old 9x12 glass photo plates, which were expired about 30 years ago. I experiment with them from time to time.
And I love to take photos of my own city. But, other cities are also beautiful to shoot, though.
