Russian Food

Fresh salted whitefish served on a wooden chopping board together with one or two (or more?) shots of vodka. Russian traditional at its finest. It cannot get better than this

We are landed at our final destination. Duvanni Jar, the Yedoma exposures, where we will take our samples. Where we will check whether the laughing gas N2O is emitted from these permafrost soils. And much more. It is a really remote place and we are all alone with our captain Misha on a boat, from where we head towards land every now and then to do our measurements. Small cabin, little space, not much distraction beside some movies and conversion. We grow together during these days….yes, no social media, we have only us. It is nice, a rather safe adventure with the exception of a storm which we had for a few days and which was a little frightening. But everything works just fine. On the way back, we stop over at Leonit, and this guy can play the guitar so well. And he serves us very good vodka together with fresh salted fish. Life is good. And my girls are also fine back home. I call them from the top of the hill twice, where i have sometimes telephone connection and receive pictures. Everything is fine.

Hi.

My name is Christina. Welcome to my passion and my living dream. Weddings and family occasions to me are the events which most need to be memorialized and saved in pictures. I am a mother, photographer, biologist, and a happy-go-lucky person who loves to travel and has been known to throw caution to the wind. I use my camera and my curiosity to find love, beauty, joy and humor in unexpected places. Every time I meet a new couple so crazy in love they can’t keep their eyes and hands off each other, it makes my stomach flip because I absolutely know how it feels to be that new couple. This is how I know how much it matters to have those moments captured in time. Because no matter how many years pass, when you look back at those pictures, you won’t think about all the imperfections but you will remember the love, sun’s warmth and the song that was playing in the background and the moment will come live
