Ilya Askinazi - Black and White Photography

 

The first photograph is of me and my sister and my mom in the background... mom says I am  4 years of age here and it is 1967. This photograph was taken by a man I thought was my father, who really was my mother's friend who left to Israel in 1972 and later sent an invitation which we used to come to the west. He was an assistant camera man and later a photographer for "Soviet Life". It's hard for my mother to look at this photograph, it was hard times.

So as you can see photography is in my life as far as I can see..
