ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This photograph was taken in November 2016.
Babushka Masha ("babushka" is an old woman, so we call them in Russia) lives in a northern village Oshevensk, Arkhangelsk region, Russia. She is almost 90 years old and lives alone in a 100 year old northern big house. Winters are very strong in the North of Russia, so she is forced to provide herself with a big amount of firewood, which will be enough to survive the winter.

AUTHOR
I was born in Moscow, Russia, in 1979. Since 11 y.o. I’ve got deeply fond of photography, including optical printing in the darkroom (with my father and later by myself). But having had decided to become a lawyer, I’ve graduated from the university and successfully worked as a lawyer for 17 years, having kept passion for photography. Approx.3 years ago, thanks to life circumstances, I've turned my life on its head and have fully devoted it to photography and to my family. Now my main passion is film-photography and optical printing in the darkroom.
