I must say, you do some incredible work. Way beyond anything that I would be comfortable doing.

Now, two questions ... I see in the reddit pics that you guys shoot with canon DSLRs and L-Series lenses. Isn't that difficult to carry around, wouldn't something lighter be more convenient?

Second, I have been given the impression that Russians are very fond of doing this type of photography, and it seems to go unpunished in the former Soviet Union ... do you feel that there are more Russians involved in this sort of fun or is it just better marketing on their part? (... or, just dumb luck on my part)

Are you (and/or your teammates/friends) at all concerned about competing in Russia? ... given the recent terrorist attacks and threats, and all the other negative vibes around the games.

Obviously, if Ukraine jumps to the EU, Russia will return Ukraine to market gas price (double) and hinder free trade between Russia/Ukraine. Do you think that the EU will help Ukrainians heat their homes? Most Ukrainians barely make by as it is.
