About a month ago, I saw a poll on a popular social network that asked, “What question do men answer with a 100% lie” ?

Among dozens of hundreds of responses, one stood out as the leader in terms of the number of likes and comments:

“I'm fine.”

Well, I can say that this is still the case.

Why? This is a topic for a separate long article about upbringing, social status, and the expectations of the very society in which we live

Perhaps when I finally finish writing the article about my depression, which has been sitting in my drafts for probably three weeks now, if not longer, there will be part of the answer there. At least from my side

But we've digressed considerably. About a year ago, I realized that I didn't have the energy for the website, its maintenance, and photography, so during a period of severe depression, I simply took it down

As it later turned out, although the platform allows data to be stored for recovery, this does not apply to photos that were used to illustrate articles

In general, it is not possible to restore everything as it was. But on the other hand, the end is always a new beginning

Simply put, the website is awaiting a relaunch

In fact, I want to do the following, and I hope my old readers, who I believe will return over time, will forgive me

First and foremost, this is a blog about photography, where I share content and my opinion on it. But now I want to change the format a little. The photos will not go anywhere, but in general, there will be more personal stuff about me and my life. Because for some time now, I have decided that I can and want to talk about my depression, for example, quite openly

And about work too. And in general. But here's what will change: very personal articles will not be available without an account on the site. There are reasons for this, first of all, everything that is posted on the Internet remains on the Internet, and there's nothing you can do about it, but on the other hand, I want to communicate with real people I know, which is why registration is required

The second point is that professional articles and some content will be behind a paywall. Primarily professional content. I want to start writing a blog about work (even though I said I wouldn't, but I've decided to change my mind on this)

So there you go

Best regards, Andrei
