From the author
In mid -June, in conversations, the question suddenly began to arise whether I follow the World Cup. He answered: Yes, I carefully view photos in networks and news feeds. In the event that covered Moscow, I was interested in two aspects: a) is it possible to remove such a topic “from myself”, without athletes, stadiums and accreditation; b) Are there artistic advantages in such filming, besides the momentary news component, whether the era transmit photographs from past events ... You can recall the most important in the post -Talinsky era of the World Festival of Youth and 1957 and the same festival in the anti -branch of the perestroika of 1985, as well as last year, which passed by fantastic procession through the rainy Moscow, with the epicenter in the Olympic city of Sochi, etc. Where is all this?
At the same time, I encountered applicants at consultations in a photo school, many of which have been acting with the same set of photographs made in previous years. There was an idea-offer for applicants under the World Cup to update the portfolio with the latest work. I had to go out to the city to compare situations when evaluating future photo searches. As a result of several walks with the camera and this small essay appeared about the football summer Moscow.
