Many of the photos on this list are unlikely to be "the best" in terms of art, but they are the best for me personally, as memories of certain events. I'll start with the photos that were taken in early 2021 and end with recent ones.
Snowy Odesa
It was my first winter in this city and I am happy that it turned out to be so rich in snow. Honestly, it seems to me that I have never seen as much snow in my life as I saw in those few days. From the point of view of both an ordinary person and looking at the world through the lens of the camera, I can say with confidence that the snow will change everything around very much!
Bare trees turn into pictures from children's books, the usual grey road becomes like a "path to Santa", and the houses get a new look and certain elements that you did not notice before become more noticeable.
Holiday dogs
What photos can be better than pets? I decided to use the photo with horns as a postcard for friends and relatives. These dogs can get the status of "meme dogs", because, given the expression on their faces, you can write any text. And it will be perfect!
And the photo of Cooper's head under the bed is the first thing I saw after the new year. He was afraid of fireworks and decided to hide under the bed. But it was already quite difficult to get out of there because his ass was very disturbing. So he just lay there waiting to be released from captivity.
Opera house
This was my first visit to the Odesa Opera House. Until then, I only photographed him from the outside, and I saw everything inside in other people's photos. And so the day came when I got into this building!
You can see the elements of decor endlessly! Every second you find something new and wonder how skillfully all this is done.
Sea
The sea is my favourite subject. The photos were taken in the summer and it was quite difficult to capture the moment when there will be the fewest people in the frame. I love taking pictures of the sea! After all, it is always perfect.
My goal for the near future is to photograph the winter sea when it is snowing, there are no strangers and it's all yours.
The first attempt at concert photography
I am happy that this year, despite the quarantine restrictions, I managed to attend a concert by the band, which I really like. And I'm also very glad that I was even able to take some cool shots of their performance on my smartphone.
At least I like them and many of my acquaintances said it turned out pretty cool.
Several random shots
I love to take photos from this angle. It seems to me that in this case, even ordinary buildings look much more original. In the photo, you see a passage in Odesa, which is somewhat reminiscent of Milan. This passage is more than 100 years old, it is quiet, calm and very beautiful.
A photo that is incredibly valuable to me. Here you can see the "March of Defenders of Ukraine". The photo shows the military who defended and are defending my country during the war. There are also relatives of the dead children, including many children.
I don't like pigeons! But one day this character settled on my windowsill and lived there for about a day. He slept almost all the time. However, despite the fact that I do not like these birds very much, I tried not to interfere with his recovery. She didn't turn on the lights in that room in the evening, she tried to go in there as rarely as possible and not make noise.
However, I could not pass by the opportunity to photograph the pigeon so close. Although through the window, but still. By the way, my new friend calmly went about his business the next day.
