We were walking in downtown last weekend when I took this picture. I saw this garage door and pulled kids for a quick photo. I told them hold their hands. I took 5 frames and let them go. I like this picture the most for their expressions. The lighting is not the best one, I shot it with available light at ISO 3200, 1/30, f2.8. But I think it is the case when expression beats perfection. What do you think?

Last weekend we did a few projects with kids. Pavlo was learning how to draw. We picked our little Michael as a model (look at the picture, how he is trying to pose
). The goal was to draw a person with as much details as possible. Pavlo even colored Michael’s socks and stripes on his t-shirt.
The next project was to make traditional Ukrainian Easter Egg – Pysanka. Pysanka is a real egg with painted ornament on it. The technique is to cover the color you would like to keep with hot wax. The egg goes trough several dye coasts in the process. At the end the wax is removed and the whole ornament is reveiled. The whole process takes a lot of time and I have to give Pavlo a credit for beeing so interested and dedicated to the process.
