I was worried that the pictures with the New Year decorations of the city would be irrelevant after the new year, but they are still in demand. I don't know why I thought that, maybe it's related to the experience of the past years.
My desire to photograph everything festive is so undulating that it swings like a pendulum.
Sometimes I want to capture as much of the New Year as possible, then I'm so disgusted that I try to go somewhere far away from the city.
And these waves alternate very often and manifest themselves noticeably.
Roughly speaking, almost every other time I take off some yards with dugouts or a snow-covered forest, and New Year's illumination.
Sometimes it can be difficult to step over your "wishlist" and shoot directly what is happening around you.
As I said exactly a year ago: if there is no snow at all, and all the New Year's Eve will be reflected in puddles, then I will capture it too, as it is happening right now.
So it is now: if attention steals everything New Year's Eve, if there is a lot of it around, then why not take it off while it is there?
And if the next day I don't feel like photographing it anymore and I switch to some yards with dugouts, then I have to give in to this desire.
This is the real balance, which is regulated automatically by my subconscious mind. That is, I don't choose it consciously.
As a result, it turns out that I manage to visit different worlds, I don't burn out, I manage to capture both urban decorations and something more detached.
On social media, I was asked a question: how do I manage (judging by the pictures) to be in the city and in some other places almost simultaneously. But it really is! Today I was photographing the city, and tomorrow I have already traveled a hundred kilometers.
