My portrait was done by my dear friend and artist Anastasia Zabrodina
Stop by and check out her work.
As for me, I like to play around with my camera, but mostly I consider myself a writer and poet. I have lived in the United States my whole life and have a passion for travel.
I have a particular fondness for road trips. When on the road, my camera and notebook are never far from my side.
