    "We are engineers by profession, both worked as teachers at a technical university for many years. As a couple, we have been traveling together for more than fifty years from the Carpathians to Kamchatka and from the Pamirs to the Polar Urals, as well as the countries of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Cameras are always our companions, with which we try to reproduce in digital format the main thing in an artistic photo - thought, feeling, mood. We are supporters of conceptual art. As part of the "Words and Images" project, we combine our photos with famous lines from literary works, while words and images reinforce each other, awakening reflections on life."
