Black and white photographs became wonderful illustrations.
An unusual combination of poetry and photographs, plus the classical album,
made in the traditions of the beginning of the 20th century, amazing calligraphy. All these create the feeling of intimacy and a painstaking cautious work of a man, absorbed in the world of poetry. The photographs add the atmosphere of the inner holiday, hope, miracle and at the same time take us to calmness and seclusion.
