Igor Laptev Photography

The challenge of creating unique images of nature and landscapes through photography has become my very personal way of experiencing the wonders of nature. I am especially grateful to be able to share my favorite photographs with people who love, respect and depend on nature to enhance their lives as I do.

Thomas Kinkade - Painter of Light

In his garden scenes, Thom combines a plethora of color and light that is vintage Kinkade. Roses that look and smell like heaven. Orchids that absorb the sunlight and almost seem to shimmer. The sweet scent of fruit trees in the late afternoon ...

Paths

Drag mouse to draw a line (click dot to start again). Drag green blocks out of the way (they only move certain directions). Use space bar to start the dot following the line. Get the red dot to the exit star without hitting anything!

NYChildren

image

It is amazing what is becoming of this simple idea: Photograph one child from every country on earth. Each child must live in New York City. It started by my reaching out to a family in my building, then on to my grandmother?s nurse?s friend?s friend. Once other people heard about the project, they passed it along to their friends, and NYChildren simply took off.

NYChildren photography of children in New York City is 67% complete. The work continues towards completion of the project.

Slang of the 1920's & Car Songs

The twenties were the first decade to emphasize youth culture over the older generations, and the flapper sub-culture had a tremendous influence on main stream America; many new words and phrases were coined by these liberated women. Many of these are still used today!
