Moscow, Russia - 2011 - 2013

I never, ever would had thought I would live in Russia.  NEVER.  At first it was painful.  PAINFUL!  I didn’t want to be there, I didn’t like the people and I hated the city.  My second year there, I learned a bit of Russian, and I found friendships that will last a lifetime, and I fell in LOVE with Moscow.  Moscow suited me perfectly.  I discovered museums, I discovered the churches and I started shooting.  Pure joy!  The colors, the architecture!  Stunning.  I then learned about the people.  Yes, they may seem a bit stern on the outside, but once I broke that shell, it was a completely different experience.
