Picture of the Week #366 "Reading Pravda" & "Slow Dance in Moscow" Moscow, Russia 1988 

Signed & Stamped

When I was invited to Russia to show my films at the first Soviet / American Film Interchange in over 40 years,  I obviously took lots of pictures in my spare time. I remember that people were cautious and staring at me when I raised my camera. Everyone wore dark colors and the mood was somber to say the least. The one woman wearing red in a the hotel dance stood out. Lucky for me the light was right. The streets were filled with sad expressions as people made their way to work. But yet my trip was a happy one thanks to my fellow American Film Makers.
