Kazan — summer 2010

One of our students, Connor Hobby, snapped this shot in an underground walkway near his home:

It reads, "Behave so that our grandfathers and fathers will not be ashamed." I haven't figured out whether it's meant seriously or ironically.

I also like the fact that there is a blur to the photo. It gives a kind of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" feel to the picture, and you get that feeling a lot when you are living in a different culture.
