In this book I have collected photo essays which I have made myself in various countries in various years. While composing this book, I saw that stories, when joined together, are perceived differently than stories by themselves. Some stories are self-explanatory, because they are just simple stories. People just live. For me, it is very interesting to watch them. If people's life is not broken, though it may be noisy, it is still full of serenity. But other stories I need to explain. I see that these are exactly the moments when something merciless intervenes in the life of a person or people. But people are fighting. They want the past and the future to exist together with the present. This is the order of life. And, what is most important, its meaning.
