At Dani's party in December 2010. At some point, people could not point vodka bottle anymore... |
Vodka theme again :) This is September 2010, when several friends of mine decided to swim across Lake Washington, letting me to be the event photographer. Due to strong winds and several mistakes made we ended up in the middle of the lake by night fall. So I pretended to motivate people by showing them a bottle of vodka, and they responded by pretending they are all excited :) And yes -- after 2 hours in water everybody made it across all the lake! And no, we 8 people have not finished even this quater of bottle after the swim :) |

Olga grabbing someone's mask at the Halloween party at Michael's place in October 2010. The interesting fact about this shot is that it consists actually of 3 frames made in quick succession with a 50 mm lens, and then stitched together. |

This year I had probably the most intensive Halloween, eventually covering about 6 parties plus some shoter stops in 3 weekend days. This is one of the Halloween moments, depicting Alexey and Olga in Seattle in October 2010. |

Sveta and Eugene at JATP party at my place in July 2010. One of the party themes was projecting images and music clips to the ceiling. Technically, that worked awesome. The only downside was that people felt so relaxed that the party tended to fall asleep :) |

Moonset seen from an airplaine high in the air somewhere over North Altantic in July 2010. Note the clear color deliniation between the troposphere and stratosphere here, and how visibly distorted is the Moon due to atmospheric refraction. The light path between my eyes and the Moon through the air at this moment corresponds to roughly 50 vertical thicknesses of atmosphere, or 300 miles of air under normal condition. |

UDAR self-defence weapon with cartriges inscribed by me personally in approximately 1997. Yes, we used to carry these back in those days... But I would've never expected that Ilia who inherited this weapon after I moved to the USA in 2000 would keep it for 10 years and present to me during my visit to Novosibirsk in August 2010. No, I'm not really a gun guy. But I was touched. With memories and everything. Thank you Ilia, if you read this. |

Four helium balloons released ascending into the sky above Redmond, WA, and a bird hovering between them. The closest (yellow) baloon is apprximately 1500 feet away, and the most distant (blue, on the left) is about 3500 feet up in the air. The bird is probably somewhere between them. August 2010. |
My friends at the party in August 2010. In total, there were about 48 guests that night (not everybody is in this picture). |
