PHOTO IMPRESSIONS

This is
my second “home land” since September 2000. I’ve spent there only half a
year, and since then I often come there for a visit. This land shocked me at
the beginning, albeit I have been in different countries of Europe and in
China and Turkey before. I saw many unusual things everywhere, but they did
not disturb me so much since I always stayed only a visitor anywhere I came,
and I perceived all “strangenesses” as precious travel impressions. Only in
Israel I was given citizenship and supposed to settle there, so I had to fit
myself to this country. I tried to learn it, chasing with my camera in the
streets and markets of Jerusalem, ole Jafo or Beer-Sheva, on the slopes of
Golan heights, on the Mediterranean coast. I cannot claim that I already
understood this country and its inhabitants – this job will probably take
much more time. At least I feel that I managed to accept it easier and even
started to love it. |

I live in Germany since April 2001. I came
here before as a tourist as well, but this time I stayed on here for a longer
while. Since the first days I felt as like I put on some very comfortable old
cloves, softened by the time but still fashion. May be because of this
feeling I turned in a flea market hunter, still with my camera ready to
shoot. I travel from Germany everywhere around, meet people from all round
the world, and enjoy the life. |

Russia This is my native country. I left it in
Autumn 2000. I used to leave it for a long while before, when I went to China
for one year. Now it’s my longest stay away from Moscow in my life. When I
come back to visit it I also make as much photos as I can, as if trying to
take my old home along in digital form. |

All the photos on this site are made with
digital cameras Casio QV 3000 and Casio QV 4000. I bought the first one in
November 2000, after my old Olympus, stolen in a plain from Moscow to
Tel-Aviv. Thus that flight happened to be transitional not only to my way of
life, but also to my way of seeing things and collecting impressions. Last updated on May 31, 2002. © Maria Khayutina. |
