Hello my Sweethearts!
You all probably know or at least heard news about Russian invasion of Ukraine. Something that many of us were afraid of. Something we really hoped will be just "showing off muscles" and nothing more.
Unfortunately, confilct, that has evolved since 2014 between two brotherly countries, culminated in fratricidal war. I'm not here to discuss exact reasons, who, why and where conflict started. This is very complicated topic and there will be definately involved heavy propaganda from many sides. Truth is already hidden deep in rumore and lies.
I'm writing this post for another reason.
This should never be happened. Especially between two nations that have common history and road since ancient times.
Maybe every third person in Russia has any kind of relative in Ukraine and vice versa. We ARE brothers and sisters.
Neither me nor my family/friends support madness, that is happening in Ukaraine. And there are many of us think the same. This atrocity should be stopped!
We, normal people, wherever we live, want only one thing - Peace. To live, love and work peacefully.
I think, every person in the world will agree on that.
Peace is the only option!
As the creator living in Russia, I don't know what to do at this point. (Hell, it is the same for every working person!) Heavy sanctions from the world, future possible attempts from our goverment to stop panic and "desinformation", might lead to many problems with platforms I (and many others) work on/depending on. Future looks very usettling and I don't know what can be our plan B.
One of my close friend here asked me question about the plan, and it went two days and I still don't know what to answer.
We are not going to put our hands down and continue to bring great quality photoshoots. As long and as much as we can.
For now, all I hope and wish, this war will be stopped and won't escalate.
I ask you to not forget, that "Wars made not by common people, but by the ones who are in lead".
Let's make love, not war.
