Posted on March 19, 2017 by Oleg Volk

I am no early riser, so haze caused by the evaporation from Lake Como was a constant problem. Hundred fifty year old house, brand new antenna. My favorite Americans. Italian man listening to his uphill neighbor.

Posted on March 13, 2017 by Oleg Volk

California girl in America

Posted on March 2, 2017 by Oleg Volk

In the finest tradition of Japanese anime, running a belt through the M60 gets a big smile from a 14 year old girl. She showed good competency and safety habits…especially considering that was her first time ever on a range!

My friend Mike

Posted on January 26, 2017 by Oleg Volk

Michael has a filter. He just doesn’t bother using it most of the time. He’s brilliant, so people overlook that to hear him talk more.

Good people I know

Posted on December 18, 2016 by Oleg Volk

Three gunsmiths socializing in the manner to which they are accustomed. Scott cleans up well, so he’s showed up in quite a few of the commercial ads and editorials I’ve made. He’s pretty hardy, too.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Posted on November 24, 2016 by Oleg Volk

Living in America is an awesome boon. Some of us paid for it, others had parents or more distant ancestors do the work for us. Either way, it’s worth celebrating. While this country has better parts and worse, there’s no … Continue reading →
