my final project

my blog was all this time just an empty space in the internet world, but i've kept it for the description of my final project, that is about Russian immigrants here in Berlin. In fact, it is about Russians everywhere. That is why my ideas about it changed several times during these 3 weeks.

Finally i've done something and i like it.

So... one week ago i've met a group of young boys and girls from, how Bruce said, "Eastern block". Some of them just study here, others moved here for 10-15 years with their parents. I've spent some funny evenings with them and they were very interested in the topic of my final project and how i'm going to do it.

I've been invited to a dinner in one such family, but there was nothing to take pictures of.. because Russians don't differ from Germans. The same kitchen, three rooms... it was not far from Mitte, very nice place. We've eaten currywurst:) and spoked about russian dishes.

A couple of days later i was to a birthday party, that first began near a grocery store and finished in an apartment of the boy who's birthday it was. I don't remember a half of it, but it doesn't matter, it was like at home and i've even forgotten that i'm in Berlin.

The conclusions i've made are a little bit private, so i don't want to hurt someone. But it is not like taking pictures of a Muslim woman because she wares a scarf and it's multi-kulti. You cannot distinguish a Russian woman or child in the street, just by the language maybe... but how can i capture it in my photo.

The most important is that few people know how they are, what about they are thinking, what they care for... After some opinions heard here in Berlin i've decided to do my project as i see Russians, as i understand them.

if i have succeeded or not - you will decide.

the link to it you can find in the riht side of my blog window.
