Just so you know, I can be hired for an exclusive portrait sitting. By "exclusive" I mean that the result will be unique and most likely deserving to be on a display in a reputable gallery, or published in a fine art book. This, however, may get expensive.
Most photos on my site
www.shanidze.com and here are for sale, unless otherwise noted.
Travel schedule until July 2009:

BIO
I was born on October 18th 1968 and soon after found out that photography is much more interesting than watching TV, or smoking weed. After 39 years my opinion has not changed a bit.
You may find much more interesting visiting web galleries on my site. Series and new shoots usually appear there first.
