moscow, russia, may 2005

this specific photograph was taken while walking the neighborhood of moscow that features several places that are mentioned in a very well written, well known, and well aged russian book, master and margarita. from wikipedia: Many people consider the book as one of the greatest Russian novels of the 20th century - and also the most humorous.

the specific place is the writer's club, which in this photograph is behind my back. this photograph is thus specifically set in the context of the year, of the place, and of the city.

behind my back

hehe, i wonder if you remember that conversation in IRC a while ago =P

I like the picture. I think i'd know more about it if i read the novel, but i don't see that happening anytime soon. I'll be damned if i find time to paint a present for family, let alone read a novel!

I notice that the street is at an angle, going down towards the right. That's one thing that immediately caught my eye. I realize that trying to crop it so that it's leveled may screw up with the car and make it like the nose is aiming for the sky. Regardless of that, i like the mood of the image. Hell, you couldve said that it was taken in 1960 and i wouldve believed it (well not really, basically because of image-quality, but you know what i'm saying =P )

Right now i got within 2 inches of the monitor to see if i could see you in the reflection of the wheel cap. =P

I think the background brick building is a little too bright, taken when the sun was right on it... but still has fine colors. Good photo!
