Lifeline
An Ukranian Veteran proudly shows an old photo of his younger self when he was in the military.
While sitting in his kitchen, he tells me about his time of duty and how the violence killed almost an entire generation of men in his country.
He tells me about his life after retirering from the army, about the technical job he had in a local cinema, wich he liked a lot.
He tells me how his biggest challenge in life was life itself....
He tells me about building the house for his family, the place were both his children were born there and were he shared good and bad times with his wife.
He tells me how his late wife loved flowers and how they maintained a large flower garden around the house.
Life has made him proud, and growing old with his family made him the man he is today.
when everything comes together. Those moments tell my story.
Over the years I have developed my own strong style. Powerful images that radiate passion, with room for your own story as a viewer."
