I found my role model among photographers. It is Diana Arbus, the connoisseur of things deviant and unhealthy. Black and white square photos from the fringes. At the end she did herself in with barbiturates. These, incidentally, are available in any drugstore here, and a rouble equivalent of $20 will get you a lethal dose. Codeine-containing cough syrup or headache pills are banned but not pentobarbital.. Funny I’ve never heard of Diana Abrus before. For more see Diana Arbus album ~ Review & critique
What’s the big deal. Take a look at this collection from the 70s if looking for the surreal: http://bigpicture.ru/?p=447524
And the Triva group photos: http://ribalych.ru/2014/03/24/sovetskie-fotografii-za-kotorye-avtorov-uvolili-s-raboty/ You Diana is no big deal compared.
