A weirdest thing happened to me today. Alena thinks this must be just another joke of Mercury, which is almost in retrograde. I don't actually know what to think of this. Well, at least, it's funny.
Four months ago I sent several photos to the «Pervozdannaya Rossiya» (which is hard to translate, but it means something close to «Russia as it was created» or «Russia untouched») exhibition, which is one of the most popular national wildlife photo exhibitions.
In a couple of weeks they requested a high resolution file of this one, but they have never contacted me after that and even now I can see that it's status is "waiting to be confirmed", so at some point I forgot about the whole thing.
Four days ago we went to the exhibition, listened to a couple of lectures and saw a lot of beautiful photos made by our acquaintances. And somehow we didn't see this one.
Four hours ago my friend (who I actually had met four days ago at this same exhibition) sent me a message: "Why didn't you tell us that there's your photo at the exhibition"?
"I didn't know", I said. "Which one is that"?
So, she sent me this picture. And it feels pretty weird now. And I don't even know how to react or how do I feel about all this. I've always thought of me as of a mindful and watchful man. So, how could I almost miss this? And if it wasn't for my friend, I would never even knew it was there. And I already made my peace with not being exposed there, so I just can't really be excited about it. It's all just so weird, I couldn't even believe it's happening.
