“Everything Russian” Photo Contest
It may sound odd but many locals still take pictures using hand-made prehistoric cameras and print them themselves in abandoned ex-KGB laboratories. To encourage the development of local photography, I've decided to organize a permanent photocontest on this website that will give due attention to pictures that symbolize the very essence of Russia as we think we know it. I'm still thinking up the prizes, but i promise they'll be funky!

I am going to think up some nominations later. At the moment I would like to publish some of my favorite photos that could give an insight to understanding the Russian Mystery.
