A trapper named Vladimir stands with his wife and children in front
of their home near Petropavlovsk. Vladimir spends six months of the
year away, trapping sable in southern Kamchatka for the hunting
cooperative. He traps during winter, as the animals' pelts are white
at that time of year, and white fur fetches a higher price. Vladimir
considers himself fortunate to live in his own freestanding home
rather than in an apartment block. The vegetable garden visible in
the foreground serves as the family's only source of fresh produce.
