Interview with Alexey Titarenko

I had the good fortune to meet Russian photographer Alexey Titarenko when he was visiting New York City from his home in St. Petersburg. He was there for the opening of a remarkable show of his work dating from the early 1990's (the fall of the Soviet Union) to the present.

Attached is an audio recording of a brief conversation we had. Nailya Alexander, the gallery owner, acted as translator. Also included are some examples of his work. Hope you enjoy.

After all, it would be inappropriate for a visitor to comment on fine photography with phrases like 'bosso keeno' or 'totally radical, dude!'. It just wouldn't be proper.
