Photo Exhibition "Bumblebee's Look"
Photo Center on Gogolevsky Boulevard represents the exhibition of photo works by
Vladimir Lagrange "Bumblebee's Look". Lagrange's photographs show us that nobody
ever given such credence to the nature. Colour, light, music and smell - all
this is in the waves of colour gradations, petals' movements, pulsing fibres. He
is not interested in a flower itself, but its colour, architectonics and
sounding are important for him. He can easily watch and take pictures of a bud
during several hours. These photos are easy way to relax and have a rest.

Photographer to the Tsar: Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii
The photographs of Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) offer a
vivid portrait of a lost world--the Russian Empire on the eve of World War I and
the coming revolution. His subjects ranged from the medieval churches and
monasteries of old Russia, to the railroads and factories of an emerging
industrial power, to the daily life and work of Russia's diverse population. In
the early 1900s Prokudin-Gorskii formulated an ambitious plan for a photographic
survey of the Russian Empire that won the support of Tsar Nicholas II. Between
1909-1912, and again in 1915, he completed surveys of eleven regions, traveling
in a specially equipped railroad car provided by the Ministry of Transportation.
Prokudin-Gorskii left Russia in 1918, going first to Norway and England before
settling in France. By then, the tsar and his family had been murdered and the
empire that Prokudin-Gorskii so carefully documented had been destroyed. His
unique images of Russia on the eve of revolution--recorded on glass plates--were
purchased by the Library of Congress in 1948 from his heirs. For this
exhibition, the glass plates have been scanned and, through an innovative
process known as digichromatography, brilliant color images have been produced.
This exhibition features a sampling of Prokudin-Gorskii's historic images
produced through the new process; the digital technology that makes these
superior color prints possible; and celebrates the fact that for the first time
many of these wonderful images are available to the public
