The house of Isaak Asimov - Limited Edition 1 of 1 Photograph

I was born on 24th of October in 1946 in small town Krichev in Mogilev region of the Republic of Belarus. It was USSR times and my country called BSSR (Belorussia). My mother was growing me up. My father left family, when I just appeared on that earth. But when I was 12 years old in my life had began great changes. The place of my father took stepfather Victor, who gifted to me camera «Fed». It was in 1958. I felt the passion to shoot and make photos. Since then, I had begun to study photography. I learnt to print photos by myself as well. My first publication was in pioneers newspaper «Zorka», which circulation counted millions copies across whole USSR, when I was 14 years old boy. Notwithstanding, all my life I was working as a correspondent in different local newspapers. And almost all main newspapers of USSR were publishing my works («Pravda», «Izvestija», «Selskaja jizn», «Zvezda», «Trud», «Krasnaja Zvezda», «Soviet Patriot» and magazines – «Journalist», «Ogonek», «Krokodile» and etc). But several times I was nearly fired for shooting «not good things». In 1979 I have attended the funeral of priest, but Faith was strongly forbidden in USSR times. All my works were made by soviet cameras «Zenith», «Kiev», «Luibitel», «Smena», «Moscva», «Horizont». I was awarded in different photo competitions: 1-st prize for photo in Berlins Treptow Park «May here is grave of my father» in newspaper «Soviet Army» (1967); 1-st prize for photo «Free fall» about parachutists in newspaper «Soviet patriot» (1968); 2-d prize for reportage about villagers in all-union newspaper «Selskaja jizn» (1979); 2-d prize for reportage about villagers in all-union newspaper «Selskaja jizn» (1980); 3-d prize for reportage about villagers in all-union newspaper «Selskaja jizn» (1985); 1-st prize for photo essay about policeman in republic newspaper «Na strage» (1987); 1-st prize and diploma of the Union of Journalist of Repulic of Belarus for photo «Haulers over Soj river» in newspaper «Republic» (1993); 1-st prize for photos about my country house in republic newspaper «Komsomolskaja Pravda» (2002); Diploma of Union of Writers for photo essay about writer Konstantin Simonov (2014). Now I am in retirement. I still live in this small town Krichev. I have a great, huge archive of negatives, where captured faces of people of the past. I am member of Union of Journalists of USSR since 1978.
