Healthy food and equal rights for middle age females by Galina Toktalieva One of my associate photographers took me for lunch in Lugner City. We both liked busy atmosphere of the place. There, in the midst of common turmoil, we could talk about our common projects and about script for feature film I was writing. [...]

Experimental Shooting for Red Poppies Valley Movie

Galina Toktalieva — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 16:51:33 +0000

Tender is the Night by Galina Toktalieva I intend to shoot number of scenes for this movie using hidden camera or reportage style. What attracts me to amateur films made in this way is their naïve sincerity and originality, which compensates lack of technical proficiency. This elusive freshness of vision may fade away in more [...]

Red Poppies of Chu Valley by Galina Toktalieva This is the story of Kyrgyz girl who in turbulent time left her impoverished country for West Europe and came through disastrous experiences of emigration escaping grip of sex trade emissaries – to become eventually professional photographer and American world agency reporter. (The view of red poppies [...]

Der Akt

Galina Toktalieva — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 19:19:01 +0000

By Galina Toktalieva Among other dreams for paranormal powers, I had dream of myself splitting in two and keeping company of my duplicate. I envisioned complete understanding between those two – the sort of intimacy identical twins have. Looking around, I knew I would stay inexplicable for ever. It is rare that friends have similar [...]

Flight over the Cuckoo’s nest

Galina Toktalieva — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:57:48 +0000

by Galina Toktalieva To make our lessons more enjoyable, young teacher replacing an older one, urged us to talk in German about personal ambitions, stimulating our activity by patient approach of recently baked pedagogue and by genuine curiosity that glowed at her fresh innocent face. Poor German and lack of imagination may seem connected, if [...]

Body language

By Galina Toktalieva Dear Vlad, Thanks for your concerns and for being always there for me. Now after 10 years of relapse we can correspond again, as before, when we were Moscow students. In your last letter you write that your girlfriend feels so upset by illness of her dog that she stopped painting, and [...]

Премия естественной улыбки

Galina Toktalieva — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:34:25 +0000

Галина Токталиева Наверно нет на свете человека, который не мечтал бы получить вдруг от судьбы щедрый подарок. Один рад был бы просто поесть досыта, другой мечтает о новом авто, а третьему хотелось бы не меньше, чем виллу на берегу моря. Многие не прочь бы мгновенно обогатиться за счёт других, а именно – выиграть в лотерею [...]

Odors

Galina Toktalieva — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 21:26:14 +0000

By Galina Toktalieva For thousands of years living without electricity and toothpaste, our forefathers, free of matrimonial restraints forced later by patriarchate, used to choose intimate partner by smell, as many mammals do. Probably the ability of humans to perceive odors partly degenerated with time. But even now in epoch of commercial odorants and perfumes, [...]

Chic of a piano

Galina Toktalieva — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 19:30:20 +0000

By Galina Toktalieva - Why are always dressed up in black? It does not suit you at all, – dropped one of my female companions exhaling smoke of her cigarette, while we were on porch of one feeding on unemployment institutions, where we had our German classes, – three women making small talk in Russian. [...]

Stranger in the mirror

Galina Toktalieva — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 21:44:52 +0000

by Galina Toktalieva As quick portraiture photographer and sporadic photo model I have never met someone really joyful about her own portraits, including myself. Moreover, certain persons, who at first enthusiastically pose, give signs of bitter disappointment with their pictures afterwards. Similarly to me – when I posture for my colleagues, – my improvised models [...]
