You shouldn’t enter the Photo/ Graphical Collection without having had some explanations first!

To start with — I’m not a photographer!
For long the only camera I’ve had was a LOMO Smena Symbol, something not even worth speaking about. My ambitions were elsewhere. Yet what did have fascinated me were all kinds of “antiques”, a matter that let some call me an “archivarius”. Well, that’s me.
As far as I can only recall, there was always a bolted box standing on a windowsill. When I opened it, an accordion-shaped something came out. On the back side, there was glass plate, showing everything I turned it to standing on its head. “A grandfather’s old broken camera”, I was told. “No chance to find those silver-covered plates”, they said. One shouldn’t say things like that to me.
Today she’s hanging at the wardrobe together with all the accessoirs, waiting for another photo tour to begin.

Most photos below have been taken with that GOMZ Photocor-1; you’ll find an article about this camera in the second mosaic. Others are regular touristic shots, while the latest pictures are digicam-made. Some drawings of mine also have found quarter there. Sorry, no better place found.
