Hi Steemit,

I am Anna Merkulova, an independent photographer from Moscow. I have been introduced to Steemit two days ago, and since I don't have much work lately , it comes at a good timing. You see photography in Russia is a big business but there is a lot of competition and it's hard to keep up.

I sell my photography's on a Russian website but for the past 2 months it has basically been hell for me. I have been diagnosed with a breast tumor, The treatment is expensive and my breast tumor mitigated to stage 2 just a week ago. I might face the reality of losing one of my breast but the doctors seem positive in my case which why I still believes I can beat it out of me.

My passion is photography and it has always been since I was not older then 10 years old. I love to be reunited with mother nature and all that compliments it. I love the living, mostly the animal world. The moment you take a photography of an animal being clueless of what he is involved in. The type of results you receive from these beautiful creatures are mind blowing and often I come very close to these beautiful and dangerous creatures it pumps my heart just to be near them, It basically brings more life into me!

I love real and pure love representation, family love/ wife and husband love/ animals showing love to humans and vice versa. When I take a shoot I always make sure I am taking a shot of the living moment and that's the most important part of my work and what makes my shots more or less unique.

Here you can see my photography of a beautiful and fierce looking lion. I am In love just looking at it every time and this is most probably one of the shots I am the most proud of, knowing how close I got to this lion!

The beautiful bond between kids and nature, a live shot of a little girl comforting a very sad looking monkey.

We often hear about man and nature, But what most of you don't know is that woman and nature is an even more beautiful thing.

(These are all my own photography creation Credit goes to me Anna Merkulova)

I hope the Steemit community will find a place for my art, the very own art I am living for everyday and that's what I have been doing all my life. I try and stay as positive as I can and I hope my passion can help me to keep fighting my breast tumor. I am looking forward to share more of my journey with you and I hope you will allow me to share a part of yours also.

For now thank you and I hope to be able to post more unique photography's very soon, I don't always feel energetic since the tumor treatment is taking a lot out of me!

Spread the love.

Hi condra, I can verify my self with a video too. I can do one and post it here or in a new post where I explain my journey so far with a diagnosis of breast tumor.

Hello. I have written a poem to my girlfriend who also has breast cancer. I hope that you would read it for inspiration. I also lost my mother to it. My prayers are with you. I hope that you continue to share your story.
