A friend of mine told me recently that this photo of a fountain in the Manege Square looks like it was taken somewhere in Paris. I trust that he knows better; as for me, I’m glad that I was able to make my native city so distinctly European. After many years in one European country I know for a fact that Russia isn’t too different from the rest of the continent, yet how to convey that to Russians themselves and to foreigners? Photography is certainly one of the means.
We’ll see. And my friend will most certainly tell me if I’m on the right track.
