Moscow, at the Metro

[Order print]

Here is Moscow, from my recent trip to Russia. This had been taken deep underground somewhere in the Metrorail's shady tunnels. I think this is close to Chkalovskaya station.

Yes they are beautiful

Downtown Miami yesterday, taken with venerable Sony F717

Government Center bus station

[Order print]

I'd been caught in this "Mexican standoff" yesterday near the Government Center station.
On a different note, I'm still trying to adjust to Plus-X pushed in Diafine to E.I. 400. This one frame came out ok, but many are too flat. Probably Tri-X is a better choice.

Old tower (Yelabuga, Russia)

[Order print]

Yelabuga is a small town, the place where I had been born and where my parents live. It is beautiful three-hundred-plus years old Russian town; before Russian there was the Volga Bulgarian border fortification (since 11th century). This tower had been restored in 19th century by local businessman and mayor, Ivan Shishkin (father of famous Russian painter Ivan Shishkin.) I found this point of view so the tower looks remote and solitary, as it was when I was a child. It has some restaurants-shops build in vicinity and they are not visible from this point. The picture had been taken few weeks ago, it was nice and cool there (especially when compared to Miami), frost on the grass in the morining, the air was clean (the place has a lot of industrial cities around, so unfortunately the air is not always smells good). I was lucky to catch this day in the fields.

Two images from the last Washington trip. I like the street life there very much. In my opinion it is better for street photography compared to Miami, which is either deserted or (in case of Miami Beach) is swarming with (bo-oring) tourists.

Now and Then

I am back from my Russian vacation. As planned, spent most of my time with my parents in Yelabuga. Here are 2 photographs, on is 2010, the other 1974. The town has not changed much -- it is cleaner and prettier but the area where my parents live (known as "Yersovka") still the same and I glad to find it this way. I am going slowly through hundreds of images I brought back with me, both new and old. Will post some of them as soon as I have time. All in all, glad to be back :)

At the Smithsonian

[Order print]

This had been photographed at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. I was not sure I caught the boy's figure right until I inspected the negatives; he was moving fast and did run away in a split second after the click.

Windy morning at South Beach

Just came across this set when scanning the D.C. rolls. It had been shot in the beginning of the month at Lummis park in South Beach.

Store windows

Two of the same kind photographed in the South Beach's streets this weekend. In the morning, the place is almost a desert. The beaches are alive, but the streets are deserted.

This Sunday at Lincoln road in Miami Beach

The subject says it all. The water was good, with high waves.

Club "Madonna"

[Order print]

This Saturday at Miami Beach. Sorry, the prints are not available for these, not yet. Only one on top can be ordered. Pentax PZ-1P with Tokina 20-35mm and Ilford HP5 pushed in Diafine to E.I.800

Parting. The last frame.

[Order print]

As it sometimes happens with the film, the last, partially infected with light piece of film is actually holding the best picture on the roll.
This Sunday, mother and son at a bus stop in South Miami.

Morning breeze

[Order print]

This is North Miami Beach a few weeks back. The Saturday's morning was nice and windy...taken with old non-autofocus Minolta X-570 camera fitted with beautiful Rokkor 50mm F:1.4 lens.

American suburb: sleeping as flying

This is actually my wife having a little rest at the friend's house in Kendall. When I saw these wings I can't stop myself from firing my 6x6 rolleicord:)
