Dmitry Werfel is a Siberian, born in the village of Linevo, Novosibirsk Region. Youth fell on the 90s, when they did not pay salaries for six months, and there were food shortages in the house. Athletic, keen on emerging computers, the guy went to study at Novosibirsk University and worked as an electrician at an electronic factory.

- The salary was given in noodles. I somehow climbed into the pantry, cut dad's mash - a party was planned at school. I open the door - there is a package glowing. There was a lot of phosphorus in the noodles. The whole village ate such a product, - recalls Werfel.

Before the accident, life was like life - work, study, a girl whom he planned to marry. Winter 2000 changed everything. The guy who was shot down in the yard of his own house, in order to hide the evidence, was taken out of the city and thrown into the forest. It was -30 C outside.

- I came to my senses in the hospital. Frostbite. Lost my hands. The legs were saved. The kidneys are almost up, and now there are problems with them. A police captain came to the hospital, put a pen into my bandaged fingers and signed with it that I "have no complaints."

I'm on a drip and I'm crying. I ask: "What are you doing, captain?".

He says: “I give you the word of an officer: if you remember the number of the car, I will personally find these bastards and punish them.” I told him: "If I knew the number of the car, this bastard would already be sitting here and taking out my pot."

“ I Tired To be Evil ” 9000 9000

Except the photographic,0202

The car and driver that hit Werfel could not be found, the criminal case was closed. After the amputation of the hands, rehabilitation began. True, Dmitry almost did not participate in it - he went into hard drinking and depression. He broke up with the girl whom he was going to marry before the accident, and who had been there all this time, even wanted to drop out of school to help him.

For two years Werfel lived only with thoughts of revenge on the people who made him disabled. And at some point I realized: you can not live the same.

"I see the target" (Werfel at work)

- I'm tired of being angry. Something came over me, and I thought to myself: “Lord, forgive them already. And I'm sorry for being angry." And then I felt better.

My father and mother were both on my side, only my mother did not understand that she was harming me with her help. And then I chose the position of the victim, and I was very comfortable in it.

Father didn't say anything, didn't do anything in particular, but he created conditions for me to do something myself, and not just accept help. He was just tired of his son drinking, and everyone indulges him.

It was largely thanks to my father that I got out. I began to believe in the best. Panic is a terrible weapon of self-destruction.

Why did God allow what happened to me? He is kind, so I'm not dead, I'm alive. And God took many of my good friends. I sometimes think, maybe when He takes people away, He shows His kindness?

Sometimes I find answers to all such questions in nature. There, in the mountains, it is somehow easier to think about it, and the “conversation” with God goes faster and more sincerely. And it is not easy to explain all this in words, even to oneself.

Anyway, after the accident, I'm more useful to people in life than before. My mother taught me as a child to help the weak, the elderly, to tell the truth. But it has become a practice recently.

Tired of getting angry, Werfel mastered typing on a computer with his feet, moved to study at the Novokuznetsk State Humanitarian and Technical Boarding College with a degree in Advertising, Computer Graphics, then graduated from the University of Culture and Arts in Kemerovo with a degree in Photography and Video Creativity.

– The director of the Palace of Culture, for example, asked: how will I fill in the journals? I say: I have a red diploma, did I write term papers somehow?

But people with disabilities are reluctant to be hired. After all, according to the law, I have to work not 8 hours, but 4, although my salary will be like for a full day. And the vacation will not be 28 days, but 45. This is not suitable for every employer.

After failing to find a job and a year of inactivity at the labor exchange, Werfel decided to change tactics. He began to offer school principals to lead a circle with children for free, and it worked. In 2016, together with two photographers, he rented a room suitable for classes and photography, and this was the beginning of a new photography school.

But Dmitry is not only a photographer, but also an instructor in hiking and water tourism.

Trying his hand at professional diving, mastered the bike and got a license to drive a car. Although the latter did not succeed immediately.

– They didn't let me pass the medical examination for a long time to get my driver's license. Only when I made prosthetic hands, I was given the conclusion of the surgeon that I could drive a car. Prostheses have a big minus - in winter, the plastic from which they are made heats up in a car and can severely burn hands, explains Werfel.

However, Dmitry's main business was photography school.

Werfel himself from photo artists loves Henri Cartier-Bresson and Grigory Pinkhasov. In photography, he appreciates sincerity. He says that a photograph is first and foremost a document, it cannot be faked.

Children with cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, autistics, orphans come to the photography school. For them, the basics of photography are taught in the classroom - history, the basics of reportage, portrait photography.

The school does not issue a state diploma, so there is no need to work strictly according to the program.
