To be honest, thinking back now when I was very young I thought if I am ever a photographer, I'd like to produce images for greeting cards. Well, not much of an ambition maybe, but at that point I did not have much of a clue of what else there is.
Plus a part of me believes that my tastes and preferences have been shaped by the place I grew up in - that is, Saint Petersburg, a beautiful Russian city with a European exterior (in the centre at least!) and with a Russian soul. A city that is as young as America (yes, just over 300 years old!) and yet looking older as all architectural styles came to Russia from Europe with a bit of a delay... hence people refer to them as "Russian Baroque", "Russian Classicism", etc. You get the idea. And even after years of living in another country I am still very much a Doctor Jivago kinda girl :)

You have always been ambitious and were very persistent in achieving your goals, so I'm sure this will be another success!
I really love the images you selected: they leave room for imagination. The third one is true "Russian Baroque"! :)
Best of luck to you, Mashka!
Go for it...you have a gift and I'm sure people will appreciate that and purchase the cards.
Thank you Z & A. for your support. Will keep you posted! m
Recently I was trying to find a birthday card for a friend ... sooo many to chose from and yet I struggled to find something suitable - an evocative image that I could put a simple message to. I'm sure that if one of your images were on display it would have jumped out and been 'the one'.
You have a pure raw talent and I can see you succeeding in photography through many avenues.
Good luck!
Thank you Roberta,
I myself like the "blank inside" cards, perhaps a tiny bit abstract and that's what makes your thoughts go one step further. This is what I am aiming for with my images and cards. If this is what you are after, I am at your disposal!
