Perhaps I should sum up the results of the outgoing year 2025...not to break a long-standing tradition. But this year I don't know what to write about the past year. It flew by very quickly, as if it had just begun and that was it...end. Was there anything good and memorable this year? It was! Do I have anything to remember? There is! Were the sensations, the atmosphere, the memory code – all this is present. But it's as if 2025, compared to the previous ones, was somehow average, not as bright as the past ones.
It's getting harder and harder for me to choose the best photos of the year. Ideally, there should be one snapshot every month...or even two at a time. I don't know. I've collected a lot of photos again, and I can't say which ones are the best. Everyone is the same to me. There is no photo of the year this year, as there was in the previous ones. It didn't work out...or maybe it will appear later.
During the year, I boosted my reporting wave so much that I got closer to the federal media and even published a couple of times in TASS! For me, this is a serious demonstration. Maybe because of this year's reporting, I have less metaphysics, although there were interesting moments. But not enough. Very little. I reread my year results from previous years and was surprised: what I asked for every time came true! And I've been asking for efficiency improvements for the last few years...that is, efficiency, efficiency and high results. I have achieved them! I won't say that we can stop there. I would even say that I have just crossed the line where all the fun begins and in no case should I go back.
But...I really want metaphysics. I really want mysticism, kind, not gloomy, which was the previous two years. And I have a rough idea of what the problem might be. I once said that I have a certain cycle of ups and downs, and it has not failed in a dozen years. There are no exact dates, not even months...there is an approximate number of years after which "pumps" and "dumps" alternate. And I even mentioned somewhere that this year will not be any kind of outstanding, with discoveries or vivid, memorable events for a lifetime. This year is average...intermediate. Just a good, ordinary, private.
It is good to have such entries in the form of a blog diary, which you can use to verify something and confirm or deny something. And I declare that next year will be about the same for me. Only 2027, according to the calendar of my cycles, will be able to stand out in some way and will be similar to 2023-2024.
About this year. The reportage wave implies events, and when there are none, it reflects everyday life and the weather. That's what I filmed most of the time. Events, daily routine, weather. Work, street life, natural and astronomical phenomena. There weren't many dugouts this year. All because of the increasing range of trips each time. So I went to Syamzha for 120 km or Kharovsk for 110 km...and next time we have to go even further. All trips for cellars, as well as for sensations, are at least a hundred. That's what I've come to (or have come to)! But I have a huge archive of pictures of different places. But you always want more.
This time, I don't want to comment on each picture separately. I want to collect all the impressions for this year in a pile and briefly pour them out. This year, I didn't disconnect from the reportage wave until almost the last month. It wasn't until December that I got hooked on deadpan, and then on filming the night yards of Kharovsk and Sokol, where there are many dilapidated barracks. I've always liked this atmosphere...I just disconnected from her for a long time.
If the year was, as I said, average, then I still improved my efficiency a lot. So, despite the cycles, the wish came true. And after all, I liked it, I got really excited about the process. I burned and longed for every shoot. Especially in the first half of the year and during the golden autumn! In general, it was a vibe spring...I liked. A lot of places are still sitting like this in memory.: Vysokoe, Arkhangelskoye, Vokhtoga, Sizma, Sergeyevskoye...The pictures and memories don't just blow away, but are blown away by the atmosphere and the memory code.
If spring was somehow remembered, then summer and autumn flew by like an instant and were not remembered by anything so vivid. Well, there was no winter as such in 2025. Of course, I remember all the places I visited, and some of them were very strong, but they didn't stick in my head as a spontaneous image.
I can confidently call the High place of the year! Maybe, in accordance with a vivid memory, the photo of the year will be from the same place.
I want to do it in the new year...immerse yourself in the metaphysics of places, the sensations of photography, I want new discoveries in this field, good mysticism and miracles. I know it exists! After all, it happened to me the previous two years. Oh, it's going to come true...I'll regret it later. Maybe it's better to increase the efficiency even more? If it were possible to do both, then I would be happy to...but these are two extremes. I'm tired...I want to study metaphysics...
Thank you all for your feedback and comments – there are a lot more of them this year, as if communication has become more lively and I like it! I hope I've brought some benefit to someone with my posts, notes, and pictures. Happy New Year to all!
