Description First things first. I'm a PhD in Bioinformatics now. I had a somewhat boring defense with a somewhat expected success last Friday. No biggie. Events like that bludgeon my senses and dull the wit, hence no details about layers of intricate lore and narrative completeness of my presentation will follow. It is over, I'm a #$%#$ doctor now.

Secondly, there's a more feverish news - I found a print of my Dostoevsky's San Francisco among old scraps and test prints! The actual shot was buried alive on my harddrive that died last year. I thought it was gone, no back-ups were made and I was not hoping to find a decently sized copy. "Manuscripts don't burn", said Bulgakov and I guess some photoprints too.

It was a mediocre digital print but I carefully scanned and retouched what I had. It is now a hideously disfigured cripple with a magnificent make-over attempting to live a normal life.

This print appeared to be popular here on deviantart and I've received many request in the past few years, so in order to celebrate its rebirth, I thought I'd offer a print for those who enjoyed this shot. It will be an archival fuji crystal 11x14 print, shipped in a tube.

I thought I'd make it interesting and offer first 20 at $45 with $5 flat rate shipping. Please, e-mail me at myownself@gmail.com in case you'd like to have one.

Cheers,
- A

PS. I'll make sure that I update my devart account with new unseen work before the end of the year. Thanks for your support and patience. I'm glad I can now pick up my camera that has been collecting dust for the past few months.

This is incredible. I know a lot of photographers don't really care to share their secrets on how they make their images look a certain way, but did you use any filters on this or is this all post processing? I'm completely dumbfounded. Beautiful.

Would you be able to explain to me how you possibly acheived this technique? I don't see how it's possible....with my current knowledge....
It just doesn't look like a digital photo to me at all.

Holy shit that's amazing. It holds so much feeling to it, just as if someone had spent years arranging everything like this so they could have a place created as they saw fit.


Such a nice picture.

this is one of my favorite deviations. Everytime I see your work I wonder how you get the surreal textures. especially your people shots. Did you want to give any info away?....maybe a few hints...?

This is gorgeous. To me, it's lost its look as an actual photo and has become something more, something far more interesting. I love love love it. It's like the cover to a very fantastic graphic novel. I love it. The lines, the texture, the perspective. AMAZING work. Froth, froth, froth, this is one of my favorite things I've seen lately here. Bravo. I'm glad you rescued it from the dead.

I was sure this was a pencil or watercolor or.. something absolutely not photograph related. It's been in my watch since you posted it, and I've seen it every day - thanks for sharing it. I can't figure out just how or what you did, but I can say it's amazing. Great work, and congrats on the DR.

a question, u seem to have read lots of russian literature is there any specific reason for that?
(for some reason, i wasn't surprised by ur phd... your work reflects your intellectual abilities)

P.S. Bulgakov also was a doctor for a few years, then chose a literary career
