Man with bear by Nadia Sablin


This submission from Nadia Sablin brings us back to the Old World. I've never had the chance of seeing countrylife or know the excitement of the traveling circus/zoo. Nadia was born in Leningrad, Soviet Union, a city that does not exist anymore. She came to the states to grow up and study and decided to go back, not necessarily back to Russia but in a little town in Ukraine, where people still gather water from wells. She captured portraits of people that inhabited this small town, which she calls a place that reminded her of a fairy tale.

Alright, remember the deadline has been extended. New deadline is Tuesday, August 15 at 6pm EST.
