Great atmosphere, models, ideas exchanged. Not everything actually fits my style, but hey - in order to get something into your style - you got to learn how to make that something in general, first

“Wild” dogs in Moscow… Odd thing, but i never saw so many of them in any other city in the world. They living everywhere, on construction sites, next to the garages, you name it.. People feed them, fear them, love them, ignore them..
