Magic Glass

BY Mikhail Gubin

“It was late and bitterly cold. I was driving back home, dreaming of being able to go to bed faster, having wrapped up in a warm blanket. Suddenly, I caught sight of these windows and forgot about everything. I had even forgotten about my frostbitten fingers (from the days of my military service in Siberia). I did not cease pressing on the camera button, afraid to miss even one moment. Thus this series was born.”

— Mikhail Gubin
