Very important post!

First of all, we were actually working on September's project. I hope, this photo will make up for the wait between posts. I really like how this project is coming out.
But, BIG PROBLEM HAPPENED.
It was expected sooner or later, but everyone in Russia thought and hoped, that it won't happen.
Our government officially announced decree about "Partial"mobilization. Basically they decided to start calling for military service all men who were in reserve. Why "partial"? It means, that for NOW they are seemingly take men with army experience and specialization. It was announced on 21st of September
The law about mobilization is very uniquely written, because acording to text technically you can mobilize everyone, and not only some specific groups.
These three days showed that, people who weren't supposed to be called are already on their way to military training.
Right now Russian government is holding a referendum on occupied territories of Ukraine. They offered local population to vote about becoming the part of Russia or not to.
I'm pretty sure, voting will give "positive" results, like government is expecting. Which will also give opportunity to transform "partial" mobiliztion in "full-fledged".
Men alone, or with families, are leaving russia "en masse". If you're from Europe you are already know that, and facing with thousands of people running away from mobilization. And not only europe, but all neighbouring countries.
I haven't slept properly for several days, being in constant stress and fear. Yes, I may not be among people, who are in "first line"to the war, but my close people might become one. And we, and me personally, needed to come up with plan and decisions. Agh, I'm already so stressed about our decision to come back home from our trip and not continue to stay abroad.
Our Tao, who is second heart and soul of our projects here on Dzikan photography, will try to leave the country in matter of moments. There he will continue to work on our projects and try to prepare our future steps.
Technically he worked on 80% of all photos from all projects we showed you since last december, so no worries quality and amount of efforts won't drop.
I, on other hand, need to stay for some time to finish with some important documents, that will be useful in future.
At first we wanted to leave toghether, but decided to go with this plan since I'm technically in "safe" zone for now.
And truthfully said, I'm mentally exhausted and not ready to leave home. We just came back, just started to get in our senses and this happened. I've never cried so much since my last depression period last year...
Tao says, that everyhting will be alright and solvable. I want to believe it and trying to pull myself up.
Your September rewards might be changed since we don't have time to finish anything. And it'll be some of our previous photoshoots.
I hope, you'll find understanding in your hearts about this.
I will be in touch as soon as I know, that our Tao has reached his destination, and we are ready to continue our work.
Please stay safe!

Above all, STAY SAFE! As Hastor says, your dedication to your work is admirable, but the two of your safety and well-being are far, far more important! You can always return to creating art, but only so long as nothing terrible happens to you and Tao. Don't worry about us. Take care of yourselves first and foremost! (and if it helps you feel better, I think I speak for all of us when I say we'd be more than happy with previous photoshoots!)

Your concern about the quality of your next projekt is admirable but please dont think so much about it. Make sure both of you are safe. Physicly and mentaly. That is import. Dont think you need to stress yourself over "the edge" just to give us some photos. I wish you luck. And everything will turnout fine.
