Ian Sobolev, photographer
Desparate to read who Mr. Sobolev (better known to many as blindmonk) is? Then you're in the right place. In anticipation of your questions, I've actually wrote some answers down. So you can save your time and start your reading right away.

Who are you?
People call me Ian. I'm, to be precise, a young dedicated professional with big ambitions and great experience. With education in finance and marketing, broad experience in journalism and photography, I'm ready for everything. Want to read a word or two about me (I hope not)?
What about your book?
My first book, Dream Power, is available online at print.urbanhunter.ca and at Pages bookstore in Toronto. The book features 64 pages of black and white beauty, complemented by contemporary poetry.

My second book, “the art of ordinary” is available for purchase in soft and hardcover at Blurb. Featuring 80 glossy pages and over hundred photographs taken in half a dozen different coutries blended into a beautiful design and spiced up with stories, which were rewritten exclusively for this book. Only $16.95 for soft and $25.95 for hardcover.
What camera do you use?
I own and use exclusively Canon equipment: digital Canon EOS 40D and film Canon EOS 3 with a range of lenses. While every image is post-processed and edited in photoshop, I never alter them in significant way. Want to know what else I use?
So, photography is your hobby?
I guess it would be fair to say so. However, I'd certainly enjoy exposing my works in Toronto and other world cities. Care to know what media writes about me?
...And you write too?
Absolutely. I've been working as a journalist for several newspapers and magazines around the globe and wrote well over hundred articles.
You seem to travel a lot?
That's right. My goal is to visit all the countries in the world one day. Though I'm still far from completing the journey, I've discovered a lot of great places in recent years. See where I've been to and what I have photographed there.
