Beal Doka - FC Putin, in the works

from: FC Putin, Bela Doka.

With all of the uproar in Moscow at the moment concerning Vladimir Putin , it might be the right time to pre-order a copy of Bela Doka's upcoming book FC Putin, a series about the youth movement in Russia standing strong and proud behind the polarizing figure. I have seen these for awhile, but now they seem even more poignant and timely.

Also if you don't have one of these...

Bela Doka, The Sundays of Life

To help support the new project, Bela is also offering specials on his last book The Sundays of Life, a beautiful limited edition self-published book, also available with a print.

Bela Doka - The Sundays of Life

I traded books this summer with Bela Doka, a Hungarian photographer who has been photographing his extended family at the country house of his girlfriend for the last several summers. The Sundays of Life is a limited edition pre-runner to a soon to be trade edition.

Bela Doka, The Sundays of Life

Bela Doka, in his series titled "Sundays of Life", charts a challenging path for himself.
How do you photograph the quotidian moments that, while not dramatic, form the core of life’s pleasures and satisfactions? The answer for him is found in a country house owned by the family of his girlfriend. The world that he reveals to us is one of sun-warmed lunch tables, cool afternoon river swims, lazy walks in pathless fields, and tasks that are met with no timetable in mind. If we view these pictures from a hurried, urban mindset, we see nothing. Literally. Nothing is happening. But if we shift our sensibilities – as I believe he is asking us to do along with him – then we see the timeless, daily activities that create a Zen of satisfaction.
