My name is Irina.

I live in St.-Petersburg, it is a wonderful city in which the myth interlaces with reality and it's very easy to catch artistic mood. Or influenza. After all it's almost always windy and rainy here.

Some time ago I have graduated from art school, but now I do more of photography more and write stories, sometimes poems. I love Hulio Cortazar and Milorad Pavic's prose, Anri Cartier-Bresson's photo and Vincent van Gogh and Gustav Klimt's pictures. I also love children's books, dolls, hand bells, stripped vests and notebooks. I like to walk in the centre of the city, on the streets, to drink coffee in coffee houses, I like to travel and learn new cities. I like to write stories about friends, thinking of new names for them, fates and characters, therefore nobody except me doesn't know, what history is written about whom/

My favourite topics of postcards:

• the kissing man and the woman on a black-and-white photo (if thus on the image there is a bicycle it especially pleases me)

• a girl and animal (sheep, bear, fish, owl or deer)

• Harry Potter (especially Severus Snape!!!, Albus Dumbledore, Fred and George Weasley)

• Stitch

• pictures with pandas (these pictures can be unusual or strange)

• black-and-white genre photo

• R. Doisneau

• H. Cartier-Bresson

• moomies characters
