Beautiful ongoing project by Russian artist Leonid Tishkov and photographer Boris Bendikov.

“Private Moon” is a visual poem telling the story of a man who met the Moon and stayed with her for the rest of his life.

“Each photograph is a poetic tale, a little poem in its own right. Therefore each picture is accompanied by my own verse, which I wrote when I drew my sketches for the photographs. So it turns out that the Moon overcomes our loneliness in the universe uniting many of us around it.” - Leonid Tishkov
