Vladimir Mitev

I am a child of the transition. I was born in the middle of 1985 in a country, torn apart by the totalitarian regime and something else. They say that summer was hot then, although there is no real evidence supporting this. I do not consider myself special anyhow. As a child I had no talents or interests. I spent my youth running around chasing girls and getting into trouble. At one point I turned to the computer science. I am not sure what brought me there. It could be the computer games, or the golden age of naked women on the computer screen, which I secretly admired. I spent half a decade developing software for other companies and supporting international online e-commerce products. The end of 2012 marks my emotional transition. One evening I found myself in a narrow bookstore downtown. I still remember the taste in my mouth when I glimpsed through the Chas Ray Krider's album for the first time. I felt naughty. I have just rediscovered my inner child and realized that this is what I need to do. And I started shooting.
