New York Times

And yes- one more older text on NYT Lens.Blogs page.We met with James Estrin in Perpignan in 2009 where we talked-or he took an interview . It was great to hear questions beyond usual: "why do you live in Georgia and do you like Georgian food ?".

I started to work for NYT in 2005 from Caucasus and I would consider that moment breaking point of my carrier.It was great not only because NYT photo-editors were spoiling me constantly-they  trusted my vision and never demanded "hand-shake" shoots:) .On that occasion I  also learn how to use an FTP to send photos.

(And yes I do like Georgian food.)
