An Interview With Ivan Makarov (yes, me!)
Posted by Ivan Makarov in Photography as Art, tags: interview, ivan makarov, photographyIf you have a moment, check out an interview I did with guys at Caliber SF, new blog with San Francisco street and documentary theme that a group of photographers recently launched. They’ve interviewed me about my photography, about how I learn and how I keep myself motivated and about a couple of my favorite shots. Please make a jump here.
On a personal note, if you are not yet reading that blog on regular basis, you should. The pictures and passion of these guys are captivating and motivating for me. I visit their blog regularly – when it comes to San Francisco, these guys capture its true spirit. I was able to shoot with Troy Holden and Stuart Dixon on several occassions, and it’s been a blast.

great going Ivan !
Ivan, it was great reading your interview and I hope I’ll get the chance to meet you in person someday as well. Thanks for enjoying our site.
Thanks Julie. I am hoping to join you at one of your next meetups. Perhaps I’ll meet you then.
Fantastic- just fantastic. Great interview and that photograph of your family is just brilliant.
Also, it thrilled me to hear that your first camera was a D40 as that was (and continues to be) my first as well. Perhaps one day, as I continue to evolve and get better, I’ll be half as good at this photography thing as you are.
Thanks Almond for checking out my interview and faving 125 of my photos.
I did love the D40 – amazing what that camera does for the amount of money it costs. I do miss it sometimes, perhaps I should have kept it.
Thank you for sharing your photographs- honestly.
As for the D40- I’m semi-in-the-market for an upgrade but I whole-heartedly intend on keeping this gem for small family get togethers when my biggest concern is just lugging a beast like the D300 around. It’s a gem- an absolute gem.
Yes, the weight does play a big issue because other cameras are sometimes almost twice and big and are not as practical. I don’t carry my camera with me as much as I’d like to simply because of its size. I love the simplicity of controls of D40 and its light weight.
