With the amount of Vitamin D I’ve consumed in the past year, I should have gotten stock for it. Prevention, pain relief, these are the basics tenets of any product out on the market. Not getting enough Sun? Go for a walk. Can’t go out due to pandemic? 1000mg of Vitamin D, stat.

Art is my vitamin/drug of choice. I’m a pusher of picturesque portrait pleasure. Ailed by inferior imagery, I’ve got a painkiller for that. Concerned about looking bad  wherever images are seen? Karjaka has a prevention pill for you. Want to escape stiff photographs, and lose yourself in the moment creating iconic art, with a team to attend to your every beck and call?
Dr. Karjaka has your prescription ready.

 Vitamin KARJAKA. 
Have you had your daily dose?*

Refills are available in Studio or wherever photographs are being taken.

Prisoners of Love

Aleksandr Karjaka -
Blue skies above, can't keep our hearts in jail... unfortunately. Locked in with loved ones? Perhaps you're going stir crazy in singledom? Hard not to feel the effects of this pandemic. Human family units stuck inside with their other loved ones, their progeny, ready to tear their skin off just to get a few moments alone, outside of washing hands ever 20 minutes. Single apartment inhabitants looking at their palatial 500 square feet of books, DVDs and dishes, that at one time was their fortress of solitude, only to become a prison of their own design.

Letter from the Editor: 15 Years a New Yorker…

Aleksandr Karjaka -
Light and sweet, please, I say to the counter gal at the Italian bakery down the street from me in Astoria. If you're a New Yorker, you know what's up. Milk, 2 sugars, Bunn brewed coffee with that orange handled carafe, that tastes better than any bougie coffee you could think of when coming back from a 6am street shoot in FiDi, and suffice it to say, I know bougie, and coffee. I've had my fair share of cups of coffee over the years. When I was a printing apprentice with Chuck, who was from India, the bodega across the street made his coffee like the kind he had living in India... half a bag of sugar, 3 creams, splash of coffee and a Marlboro Red to go. I'd have the same, sans cigarette.
