| Hello, I am Lekompakt, or as people know me in the real world, Ilya. I live in the metro area of Minneapolis, MN and I am a student at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul MN majoring in Electrical Engineering and minoring in Physics and Spanish. Photography is my hobby as well as my profession, I work for my University in the University/Public Relations department as an events photographer/photojournalist, where I am constantly learning new things. Since this isn't a newspaper job, my photos can be found in more than one printed source, something that I like to take pride in. For my job I shoot digital, and for personal work I shoot both film and digital, but I prefer to shoot film when I can afford it. outside of dA and photography, I have a second job at my university's library as a lead tech. desk worker. This means I deal with people's stupid questions about computer stuff and network issues. Outside of all of that, I enjoy being with friends, listening to and playing music, organizing and participating in art shows on my campus, and other things like that. If you have any questions feel free to send me a note here on dA. |
Journal
As September approaches, all of you will be seeing much less activity from me here in the coming months. Why? Well, I go to school, and the college semester is about to begin for me, which means lots and lots of studying, working, extracurriculars, etc. In short, I'll have my hands full. I've been slowly moving into my apartment the past two days, and I will be permanently moved in for the next year in about two days or so. I'll still be updating with new photos when I get around to it, but if my responses to journals, comments and the like are delayed it's probably because I'll have my nose buried in one of my textbooks.
The blog was updated again with shots from Seattle, most of them are here. What's not here though is a huge log of my thoughts about them, and my trip in general. That can be found here: [link]
Also, I feel like I should take the time to help spread the word about #NewsStand , a group about photojournalism and everything related to it. I'm already there, are you?!

To me pictures say: I was here. I existed. I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture. - Unknown
