Well, my trip to Russia is ending...3 days left and I didn't managed to get the pic that I wanted since I decided to go here. Instead I shot too many churches, landscapes and some street photos...
The old people is always scared, my normal aproach to a person to shoot a portrait that I always used isn't working here, the reaction is always negative and I'm not going to hunt them down just to get a picture, that's not my way of working...not even speaking perfect russian helps, sometimes you don't even need to ask to know the answer that is stamped on their lovely faces: "no, I don't want you to get my fucking portrait!!! GRRR" (not even by buying them fruits and shits like useless souvenirs, the smily faces fades when I put my hand on the camera)

The villages are almost empty, there are no old people walking, as someone said to me: "...normaly they don't manage to get over 80 yrs old in the rural areas because the life is too dificult..."

I shot many cat portraits! They are much more colaborative. (doing +3000km to shoot cats is just perfect)

Now I'll clean the dust from my lenses as I do every morning...
