I often think about what led me to take pictures. And I have long since found the key moment when my love of beauty manifested itself in me – I looked at postcards with landscapes and pocket calendars with images of nature and cities.
As a result, I have accumulated a huge collection of pocket calendars.
I also liked to look at illustrations in books and magazines about photography or nature.
At that time, I already had that inner feeling that made me a photographer myself - I could be transported to a place in a picture and walk there with the help of my imagination.
It began to manifest itself so strongly that I began to smell and hear sounds...
When I started taking pictures, I still didn't understand and didn't realize where it came from.
It wasn't until many years later, when I became interested in metaphysics in photography, that I got to the root cause.
Now I often want to make the same soulful pictures as on old postcards.
That's why I sometimes refer to some pictures as postcards.
I visited the snow-covered forest near the village of Golubkovo near the Sokolovsky spring for the first time and I liked it here.
I liked the variety of trees, there are clearings and exits to the fields.
In places, the forest is dense and dense...It looks like a park in places.
Walking through the snowy forest, I had an incredible pleasure!
It's been a long time since I've had such beauty in my walks and pictures!
It feels like I'm in my childhood...I used to ski through the winter forests a lot with my dog.
Winter is still in full swing, but I can already say that I liked it.
For the last year and a half or two, I have had a desire to capture the mood and manifestations of different seasons.
If spring or autumn are outright screaming with their manifestations and have to be imprinted, then I had difficulties with winter.
In general, I've taken a lot of good winter photos in my photographic life.
But for the last two years, I didn't like and didn't want winter.
This year I decided to make up for lost time and photograph all the manifestations of winter as much as possible.
In addition, this year's winter offers a wide variety of subjects.
This walk will be remembered for a long time.
And I will return to this forest more than once for a walk!
