Andrei Thomas-Tikhonenko first stepped into a darkroom as a biology undergraduate, on a class assignment to photograph common songbirds. Subsequent training introduced him to the joys of photographing incredibly tiny objects through the lens of a very expensive microscope. While he still appreciates small-scale photography during work hours, his favorite pastime is wandering through (un)familiar streets with Canon EOS 5D Mark III set at f/8. Eschewing Robert Capa’s advice, he usually keeps his distance, to better honor the fragile green line between the observer and the observed.
