I lived in a small town in Siberia which was covered by snow 9 months a year!
Both my dad and granddad used to be amateur photographers and we spent hours in a dark room together, doing magic! I really wanted to have my own camera, but my parents couldn’t afford buying a real camera for a 7 year old girl. The only person who could help me was a… Fairy! At least I thought this way.
Every evening I made toy cameras made of blocks, put them on the windows hoping that the fairy would come and turn them into real cameras. Alas, it never happened. Fairies did bring me some gifts, but not real cameras. 😉
Later I understood that relying on Fairies is not enough, you should make some moves in that direction. And… My dreams really came true!
