When we were children we used to play a lot. We used to see the Sun rise and set in the fields. Wind, rain, scorching heat, freezing cold - we were afraid of none of these. Without any thought we became Natural. We never even thought of photography, although, from time to time, on some birthday occasion someone has been gifted with the powerful Russian "Smiana 8". Even more curiously was it all during the high-school years, about the "Fed" camera, the one with the lenses of the type "nightingale eyes" with which we mocked a lot and that rubbed our necks sore with their thin leather laces! I still keep my childhood "Smiana" from year 1975 and it still snaps!
