Good evening – Добрый вечер – ערב טוב – Buenas noches – Добрий вечір, Қайырлы кеш !!! It’s late evening here and i hope that this attempt to write another blog post for my site will be successfully completed. I selected the accompanied for this post images yesterday night, But I was tired as hell for the rest of the finishing.

Deciding on the topic of this post was quite difficult. I mean that it was difficult to decide what exactly from the ready for publishing series i would like to put today. What is more important or closer to me?. Actually everything is important if i decided to take a picture of this. And for the theme today i picked the one, which i can’t continue photographing these days. The “Snapshots from the car” is my long-term “project” possible for me only with my preferred pocket size point and shot camera. I’m talking about my RIP Ricoh GRii camera.

I can’t imagine doing the same with the bulky Canon 5d mkii or with any film camera, well somehow i did a few shots from the window with Yashica T2, but it was absolutely different experience. One of the difficulties of this P&S Yashica is unability to preset the manual focus distance, which works like magic with Ricoh. Same about the manual shutter speed, which always was in my priority during any documentary work.

Well, enough about this sad stuff. Let’s move to another sad stuff. I’m kidding :-))) During the whole two recent weeks i got a deep inspiration while watching documentary videos about the Austin Augie’s trip to India. I love the video and stills works of this guy,, living his minimalist life in NY, traveling sometimes, and always bringing his outstanding documentary storytelling stile to his video and stills narratives. After one of his amazing posts about his collaboration with the locals, i I opened my archives about the trip to Ethiopia – one of my most impressive trips ever, and prepared a series of images for my next blog post. So, please stay tuned.

Here is one of the India trip episodes of Austin :

 

Now the next purposeless photography series:
