"Returing to my home town of Vyatka, where I was born and lived quite a few years, I feel connected to everything that surrounds me, everything seems close and familiar. The houses and the streets haven’t changed, but they’re already not quite how they were 15 years ago.
All the same, in the provinces, time runs slower than in the noisy capital and I wanted to stop this “slow time” and imprint it into my pictures. At times it seems that all my pictures are a return to the past, to that carefree childhood period where you don’t think about the future and you simply feel alive and happy. Year after year I come back to Vyatka, something draws me back, because it seems to me that there still remains something not falsified, something real in people’s faces which I want to record in my memory and in my photographs. - See more at: http://www.oseweb.org/stories/return-to-vyatka#page" (A.M.)
