Very beautiful. I like very much the landcapes with the trees, very Russian, birches, so Tolstoï. A good reportage with also a touch of poetry. The sound illustration is very interestibg too. Looking forward to seeing other works. Bravo. Have a good summer. E.

Incredible. I like the sound efects and the weird pictures. Russia using Windows is something funny.

I've never found anything that Magnum did, but I guess there's a first for everything. This is interesting but not cohesive. What's the story here? Without the super to start it I wouldn't know what it was, and if you can't tell the story with the pictures/video, whey tell it at all?

It is quite an eerie and well done essay, especially the Numbers Stations that periodically play throughout. Excellent work!

I´m argentinian. I was pupil of Don Rypka (an northamerican photographer). Well, about this, that´s well. It´s like a short movie in motion, that´s it. Well, bye =).
