For the first time since summer 2016 I am pausing my requiems. My life is consumed by the horrific events in Ukraine. I am worried about my friends and colleagues and I do not have any energy sharing photos and thoughts right now.
These photos are from a trip to Lviv in 2011. Taken on film with little Lomo Mini Diana camera. I cherish the memories forever.
