“I want to look at photos, study all the details. Each image is interesting in its own way. Some of them were taken with a film camera, which gives special charm to them,” Alexander Khimchenko shares his impressions.
"We have been following the Russian Geographic Society Photo Contest for a long time, and last year we visited the Festival and exhibition at the Central House of Artists. I can still remember some of the photos, but I still feel happy to look at these beautiful photos once again," Oksana Bulakh and her son Peter noted.
