Capturing Russia from white to black, north to south, east to west
Garich: The Juggler (2)

Garich: The Juggler (2)

I met Garich, a juggler, in the Moscow metro in the summer. He invited me by for tea to see his apartment and juggling studio. A free-lance journalist for more than a decade, Garik said he was inspired to go full time as a juggler after an interview last year with a Soviet photographer that specialized in nude portraits. When Garik asked him how he managed to get away for so long with taking nude photos in USSR, he answered “if you really love something enough, you will find a way to do it.” Garik now supports himself by juggling on Arbat street and teaching.
