Ladreri, March 2007

Three more frames from the ruined house across from Nodar's.

Frames, Ladreri, May 2007

A couple more views of the mountains south of Etseri from Valya's windows. The last shots for now from my cellphone camera. These are typical examples of my desire to show several realities, or layers, in the same photograph.

Natural frame, Ushguli, August 2004

What tortures this scene conceals, only hinting at them! For the nettles assailing me were waist-high, the thistles higher still. But the photographer achieved his envisioned picture.

Frames, Etseri, February 2004


A window and a door, the ruined house and a barn, two different locations in the village.

Mt Ushba nr Etseri, August 2001

I look for any new angle I can find on this well-known mountain, to present it differently from anyone else. It's sort of like "a million views of Mt. Fuji" for me.
