It strikes and it overwhelms, captures and exhausts. It changes completely our perception of civilization. It is a shelter from grid, aggression and vanity of big cities.Incredible sequence of images, unreal sensations, never sensed smells, never heard noises. It is such a powerful spiritual absorption and such a tremendous discovery of yourself, your inner powers that it leaves you open-mouthed struck by something beyond your control or understanding. Since all logical explanations fail, you stop endless internal monologue, you switch off your brain and maybe for the first time in your entire life start feeling deep from the heart, your soul. All you need is to open yourself to it. The ever sleeping subconscious starts working at a full throttle and you finally realize what is really important in your life...
What can a photo shot render out of abundance of colors, emotions, sensations, human relations, whispers of wind. These photos reflect just glimpses out of life so different from our daily routine.

Irina Sorokina:

"You will never discover new oceans unless you are afraid to lose the sight of the shore" So far Ive had courage to keep to this motto. As a translator and a teacher I contribute to keeping great variety of languages spoken in the world carrying first-hand information to people. With so much melding in the world, it is still so important to keep identity of each particar nation. Travelling is a source of constant inspiration, original ideas and revelations. Whether it is a loud gossip of housewives in Southern Italy or a curious couple on the train somewhere between Moscow and St.Petersburg or book opened on the odd page in the coffee shop in Oslo - even if it is just a split second it is always important and always one of the numerous discoveries woven now in the complicated pattern of impressions, so delicate, transient, volatile and yet so significant for discovering yourself and meaning of life.
