Ukrainian diaspora caused by war at home. A group of enterprising Ukrainian girls set up a tourist photo business at popular tourist spots in major European cities. They took the photos with modified camera linked wirelessly to a nearby printer hidden in a trolley. The printouts are small newspapers with the tourist photo headlining the newsprint. Enterprising, creative and dignified way of surviving.
One happily posed in a divine setting with Greek columns in the background. The other gamely posed in Porto. Both were happy that a fellow photographer (me!) made them the subject matter.

The pandemic prompted a rethink of life and fired a desire to travel, see and understand the world. Travelling the world to open my eyes and mind, I strive to use my humble skill to capture the human condition through the lens.
