some of you may have noticed i haven't been updating my gallery for a while. the reason for that is my partial departure to Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/melkore314/ the main reason is due to usability, better sizing options and no distracting green background, which makes DA unsuitable for most of my digital photography and mixed media work. feel free to follow my work on Flickr if you have an account there. if not, i'll still update the DA gallery with more film photography once in a while. /g

to everyone who's interested, one of my pictures is being published in the hardcover book "Best of Photography 2010" as a finalist of the annual international photography contest held by Photographer's Forum magazine.

hey everyone. people have been asking me a lot about the photo techniques and inspiration, so i decided to open a dedicated page for that. check out my Formspring feed at http://www.formspring.me/melkore314 the feed is in two languages, English and Russian, so feel free to use the one you feel like you know better. )) всем привет. меня тут не раз спрашивали про технически&

I do not usually respond if I have nothing else to say but "thank you". I truly appreciate your positive comments, but even more than that I appreciate criticism, questions about the techniques, sharing experience and visual quotes. Praising each other does not get us anywhere, people. Continuous study is all that matters.

After a long struggle, trying to figure out if I do or do not want to post my commercial stuff on DA, I finally opened a secondary page for graphic design works only, which resides here: http://redforestdesign.deviantart.com/. So for everyone here who's interested - feel free to visit, watch and leave your criticism. Also, see the updated website at http://www.red-forest.com. And of course, if you have a graphic design project I can help you with - do leave me a note or email at gled@red-forest.com. Help me feed my rabbit!
