From Cortez to Moab

Ancient Indian dwellings built in the cliffs at Mesa Verde NP.Early on Monday morning we drove out to Mesa Verde National Park. The interesting thing about this park, besides beautiful landscapes is the collection of buildings in the cliffs built by ancient Indians.

After the park we made a small stop at Dolores, CO for more stamps and took of in the direction of missed opportunities. Like I said before we missed Four Corners. So we figured we’ll back track a little bit and will take a longer route to Moab.

I am standing in Utah, Arizona and New Mexico at the same time. Colorado was just way too far.Four Corners is a very small, but interesting monument. We all took part in trying to be in 4 states at once Read more…

Macro Portraits

Macro Self-portraitsI started to get nostalgic about taking macro pictures, and since I didn’t have any good subjects I decided to look through my archives of raw images. I found a good picture, did some post processing and ended up liking the result.

Later on I noticed macro-selfs reflecting in the drops.

Отражение

AutumnПочему-то накатила грусть. Я запустила скрипичную тему из “Списка Шиндлера”, которая пробирает до самых костей - от неё хочется плакать и одновременно улыбаться.

В последнее время я очень много думаю о том, как найти работу. Честно говоря, мне очень страшно. Наверное, это естественно. Иногда я ловлю себя на мысли, что многие люди моего возраста в отличие от меня уже добились определённых успехов в карьере, но стараюсь не бичевать себя слишком сильно за задержки.

Мне уже почти 27 лет. Чувствую я себя намного моложе. Когда-то 25-летние женщины и мужчины казались такими сильными и зрелыми, 45-летние - увядающими, а 60-летние - мудрыми и древними. Только теперь я понимаю, что во многих отполированных временем телах живут такие молодые и трепетные души.

Autumn Colors

AutumnToday we had a mission. Drive out of the city to some place nice and find some autumn colors to capture on “film”. The trees in New York City just refuse to go yellow. Most of them are still green, some are ugly orange, nothing nice.

We woke up early (by weekend standards), picked up Ignat and drove all the way to Seven Lakes via Palisades Parkway — about 60 miles to the north of the city. Sadly for us the sun didn’t want to play our game — it was hiding behind the dark gray clouds. It’s upsetting, but we did the best we could with the available light and sky color.

I just looked through the pictures and there are definitely captures that makes the whole trip worth it. Not to mention the fact that the autumn does look beautiful up there.

I’ll post more pictures later as I have the time to go through them and make adjustments.
