Good pictures speak themselves. Years back I watched a documentary about lives of ancient Egyptian slaves who built pyramids. In the film they showed archeological sites exposing slaves' dwellings, a mega city not far from monuments. They lived in a maze of streets inside houses without windows. I then wondered, 'are we any different from Egyptian slaves?' Sure we live in better conditions, we have improved health and longevity. But fundamentally the freedom we perceive is an illusion. Great majority of us practically cannot quit our jobs, and we work in jobs we don't necessarily like. We too work for bread. The differences are superficial. We are slaves just like ancient Egyptians.

Rock bathers
I love the dynamism and natural composition in this picture. Young man having a shower in the foreground, matching curvatures of the rock he is standing on, the mist around him, and people on the rocky platform. It is an exciting and happy picture, yet it has some dreamy aura.

Break
I wanted to capture modern human in yesterday's environment. In essence we are who we were yesterday. Human condition is timeless.
