Donald Weber

 I've found this photographer accidentally. This guy, from Toronto, now lives in Moscow, mainly interested into leftovers of Soviet Union.
 I thought that I could get a little bit inspired with is for my FMP. These photos from Siberia, Chernobyl, Moscow and so on are not folk, or  related much to naturra, who is the main subject I try to approach. However, the rudeness, unvarnished life and wintery feeling is so romantic. I may be born just after collapse of CCCP, but little glimpse of post-apocalyptic feeling is there, even in Lithuania, where people now a phobic of any eastern European features, blindly running towards west.












these photos seems cold and gray and it is true, at times, but life always were like this, in all world, you are in uk or in the north of russia, it doesn't matter. here people earn hundred times more than in east europe, they still poor, there people party with vodka, pickles and marinated herring on a table only, doesn't matter, fun is the same.
