About the Book
Every year on December 31, we get together to celebrate New Year, have fun and relax. This time, besides a good mood and great food what is traditional for New Year night, there has been cozy log house with a huge stone fireplace, a fairy dresses and costumes, nice photo equipment, and above all - an entire week of winter vacation ahead! Then there was a proposal to arrange photo session to capture this beauty and make portraits, which appeared in this album...
There were thirty pictures selected and divided in between of three major album’s sections – the formal family portraits, kids alone in formal dresses and candid portraits. The all these pictures taken at single night and captured on black-and-white film using the classical medium format photography camera, what contributes to their overall appearance a lot.
The time will pass bringing many changes upon us. However, in that book my friends will withstand it and never change…
The book's poetry and the image captions written in Russian language.

About the Creator
Born in Russia, in 1968, Oleg Moiseyenko’s earliest photographic experience came from observing the magnificent scenery of high-mountain worlds while traveling with his parents, geologists. Spending all his spare time taking pictures of the world around, Oleg classifies his interests in photography as an obsession. Oleg enjoys studying the history of 20th century Russian & Soviet photography and admires works of Prokudin-Gorskii, Karl Bulla, Alexander Rodchenko, Evgeny Khaldei, Victor Ahlomov, Valery Gende-Rote & other famous photographers of his country. He also feels a connection with and studies the works of the “greats” - Henry Cartier-Bresson, Bradford Washburn, Ansel Adams, Eugene Smith & Robert Capa. Oleg is an active member of several photographic societies: the Princeton (NJ) photo club & the ASMP. His works have been exhibited at the Trenton City Museum, NJ and others juried shows and contests. Presently, Oleg resides with his family in Princeton, New Jersey (USA).
