Chuck Berry

In 1997, Chuck Berry performed on Pushkinskaya Square as part of the Moscow Film Festival. He was brought by Stas Namin and Bob Tulipan. I walked in front of the stage, snapped, there were no spectators yet-and for some reason we quarreled with Namin. I went home, took a TV there, took my wife, and we went somewhere further. But when the Boulevard Ring drove, I heard Chuck, threw my wife and car and ran to take off. If I had not quarreled with Stas, I hadn’t taken a telephone lens at home, but would stay on the site with a wide -angle - nothing would have happened.
Berry always at the end of the performances summoned children and youth to the stage so that they danced. He liked this girl, he began to play with her. For twenty years I searched for her, found only in March this year. Her name is Christina, she is now 25. We met, I gave her this photo with the autograph of Berry himself.

Ilya Lagutenko and Shura Bi-2

We met Bi-2 when they only arrived from Australia. We rented an apartment in the area of ​​the 60th anniversary of October, I often visited them. In the photograph - the hotel room in Riga, where in the beginning of the zero we arrived to shoot the video "My Love". There was such a textured pulp and paper plant, where punch cards and paper for registrars used to make all over Russia. As soon as we settled, Lagutenko immediately came running. It was fun, we started drinking at the airport, continued on an airplane-hence Shura's strange look at Ilya, who, in my opinion, does not drink alcohol at all.

Filming of the film "Mongol"

Inner Mongolia, China, 2005th year, shooting the film "Mongol" by Sergey Bodrov Sr.. The nature there is diverse - there are birch groves and hills. But if you drive away from them, a desert with such small sand begins that it is difficult, not to walk - to talk. Participants in the film crew went constantly in tears, wrapped almost completely. This is not a staged photograph - on it the director Guka Omarov and the Kazakh filmmaker Naryn Igilik is discussed by working issues.

Andrey Makarevich

Celebrated a friend's birthday in a country house. Makarevich does not come so often for birthdays and holidays, he has little time. And here - came to us. Andrei then had a car with a folding top, and when he was about to leave, he put on the pilchsk glasses and a helmet.

BG

2014, the BG concert in Crocus. After the concert, when all the “bees” played, he went ahead, opened the door to the dressing room and gratefully said: “Guys, go through.” BG is generally a person with humor, a very paradoxical, philosopher, organic Buddhist.
