Travels in the Post Soviet World: The Drunken Bicycle!

My photographs of the Post Soviet World have recently transitioned from gallery show to photo book. The Drunken Bicycle features 83 of my pictures and 30 short essays by Vivian Leskes.

The pictures span 21 years of photography beginning in Ukraine in 2001. The most recent photographs are from Lithuania in 2022. Vivian’s essays explore the conundrums and paradoxes of this world in transition. Vivian has worked for the US Department of State for over two decades training English teachers abroad. And I have been doggedly following her on every trip I can.

Vivian has a first look at her ancestral home in Panemune, Lithuania. 2022.

We hope to have The Drunken Bicycle on sale by the end of the year. Check this blog for more information.

Thanks for waiting two years since my last blog post.
