St.Petersburg photo-walks and street life

St.Petersburg photo-walks and street life - march 2022

Kid at the playground enjoying the snow. Kidz doesnt care, they just enjoy life and learn to socialize. All the shit will happen later, when they become experiences in the dirty art of living in a socium.

I met a bat-woman! Tho I doubt she is aiming to save the world...

It is still too cold for the folks to drop off their warm jackets, same for the little doggies.

And now, a very funny pic to me -- this was not a bad frame where a person blinked, no! an eye contact was not possible here in principle. This stranger was standing at the park (with a pram) holding a cold beer can (wrapped in a glove to keep it cool), basking and exposing his face to the spring sun! I think it's a very touching scene.

Это не неудачный кадр, где человек моргнул, нет - глазной контакт здесь не был возможен в принципе. Этот незнакомец стоял в парке (с детской коляской), сжимая в руке холодное пиво (обернутое в перчатку, чтобы не нагреть), нежась и подставляя лицо весеннему солнцу! По-моему очень трогательно.

Theres pretty much ice and snow around, still - but the piles are no longer thick, these are remnants, and they stay mostly in more shady places, where there is less sun during the day. The students in the park, like me, also ventured in a photo shoot session - they appreciate the shiny textured melting ice and rush to take advantage before it all completely disappear.

Лёд и снег все еще лежат кучами - но уже не толстый стой, это остатки, и далеко не везде, а там где в течение дня меньше солнца. Студенты в парке, как и я, тоже заняты в фотосессии - они оценили блестящий фактурный тающий лёд и спешат воспользоваться, пока лед еще не окончательно исчез.

Look at her faces. They definitely have fun with it.

But still.. of course, this is not true, but we have this running joke about the modern youth being uncapable of doing anything except of two kinds of fingers movements (i-fingers, you know what I mean...)

Like this xD

I love to shoot kidz... and I guess everybody is keen to shoot beautiful girls, right?
I also have to shoot the folks of older generation - otherwise (if I will shoot girls only) sooner or later I will get suspicions and problems from my wife xD

An old man enjoying a bottle of "387" - very cheap Russian beer (it is strong - 6.8% ...)

I'm bet this old woman, judging by her face, did not lead such an easy, problem-free life as a butterfly, her life had a lot of survival. Well, that's my guess, I guess. look at her face...

Я готов поклясться, что жизнь этой женщины не была легка, но имела аспекты выживания. Это моя догадка, так мне кажется. посмотрите на ее лицо...

Jokes aside - in fact, old people are like vintage aged wines. Lightweight nature is often beautiful, brilliant, but the same and shallow, and therefore uninteresting. But the faces of people who have lived a long life - they are like paintings by old masters, on which a lot is drawn and there is something to look at ... it was life itself that painted, left a big imprint.

На самом деле, старые люди - это как винтажные выдержанные вина. Легковесная натура часто красивая, блестящая, но одинаковая и неглубокая, а поэтому неинтересная. Но лица людей, которые прожили долгую жизнь - они как картины старых мастеров, на которых многое нарисовано и есть что разглядывать... это сама жизнь нарисовала, оставила большой отпечаток.
