My real name is Ivan Bogdan.
Well, I was born.
A couple of first hundred kilometers after my birth determined the rhythm of my life.
Have studied, am studying and will always be studying.
A couple of years ago I took hold of a camera.
Started searching for my photoidentity.
I am endowed with stubbornness and talent, but I am positive only about the former.
Scared of being challenged by praise and fame.
In such cases, the usual remedy is studying the classics, self-criticism and a cold shower.
Married but happy.
Unaffiliated, but high-principled.
Determined to gain new skills and develop the old ones in my next 40 years.
