I finally published the series from Cossack and Drug Issues. A new Romanian photo magazine Punctum published the series of Crimean Cossacks, and a Japanese magazine "journalism" published by Asahi Shinbun published the series of drug addicts. Thanks Hirose-san and Cosmin!

I haven't updated the blog for a while. I went to Armenia, but nothing has been finished. So, I will post some singles in the next few weeks.

Mihai Barbu Is Alive Somewhere in Russia

Living in Ukraine, I sometimes have unique and nice guests. Mihai, my Romanian friend who invited me to the center of cosmos, Petrila, which is a small Romanian mining town in the edge of Transilvania, where children even fly, stayed at my apartment in central Ukraine. He is heading by motorcycle from Romania to Mongolia and then many other stan countries, Caucasas, Turkey, Balkan to home. He had a hard time parking his BMW in the town, but beside this, he loved Ukraine and the town where I live for now. I just called him. He said he is somewhere in Russia. He had some problems with police, as is often the case, but he is fine. Barbu said Ukraine was "Coscogeamite Blana!!" (the mix of the old Romanian word and new slang, which even a Romanians would have hard time understanding...) I also miss Romania. It was coscogeamite blana (enormously super greate, or something like this), as well.
This is the link to his site for the journey: http://mongolia.ro/
I like the URL, as well.
