  • 1960's era Volga in mint condition. № 2
  • A protester on the anniversary of the October Revolution. His placard with Stalin's photo reads, "The people are waiting".
  • Vyatskoe banyas. № 1<br /> <br /> Before the days of indoor plumbing, Russians built steam baths. After the incredibly intense heat (up to 200ºF, 90ºC) people jump in cold water or roll around [naked] in the snow. To this day, Russians love their banyas & go to what are often elaborate paid, public banyas. Banya traditions include smothering yourself in honey and/or coffee grounds & being beaten with dried birch branches.
  • Vyatskoe banyas. № 2<br /> <br /> These banyas dating from the beginning of the 20th century belong to Vyatskoe village residents & are still in use today. I used Orton & sepia filters to reflect how it might once have been photographed. Oleg Zharov generously gave us a watercolor of this scene that we admired in his museum.
