Oleksandr Lyapin
Autobiography
I was born near a swamp in a village, 11 years after war finished.
There was a field by my house. Strawbaries. The watcher tried to shoot me.
I was two years old.
That was the time I was inspired by photography.
Father gave me a camera «Smena 2» with charged film, cuz i was unableto do it (charging film into the camera).
And i went to shoot the watcher. Since then I'm photographing.
I dreamed about doing passport photographs. But this dream did not come true.
My granny told me that I have to go to the museum. And she lead me to the museum.
I was scared cuz I had to go by the underground.
The museum guide was lying and I told him that I can do this better by myself. It was 1961. Scine then i talk about art.
That guide got fired.
I was not taken to Komsomol, cuz I played drums too loud.
