I am very happy that I have my blog where I can try new things and experiment with new styles of photography and share it with you guys! Lately I have fewer and fewer moments where I am at a loss as to what to write about or take pictures of. There are five simple rules that I follow help me to stay inspired and filled with new ideas.

This post is about autumn, even though for the next few days in Pasadena it is going to be stupid hot...over 100 degrees tomorrow.

For the last two and half years that I have been living in the US, I have had a favorite fall dish...applesauce!

Even now when I hear Santa Barbara, I think of the TV show from my childhood.

Fall is here and I feel like I want a totally new wardrobe. Oh my...haha

In Russia, a whole month of fall has almost finished. How is it possible? Where did the time go? In my head it is still August. 

Do you want to imagine yourself as an ant? Then you should visit Sequoia National Park!

At least once per month, Steven and I try to go to a place that we have never been to before. A few weeks ago, we decided to check out Rancho Palos Verdes.

The second day of our Italian adventure was in Florence. It was the first AND the last day that I took my camera everywhere with us. But I will explain why later

If you ask me "What is your favorite place in the whole world?" my reply would be short and simple: Pushkin!
