I recently visited my favorite places on the Sodim River: in the Remselmash and Teplichny neighborhoods. I visited my first dugouts and just walked along a couple of bridges.
The dugouts, unsurprisingly, are rapidly disappearing...unlike in villages in remote areas.
And the shores of Sodima are rapidly overgrown.
In this walk, I have already begun to show the frequency of Deadpan, which is a trend in photography that implies a dispassionate, unbiased and emotionless vision of the plot.
As it turned out, almost all the pictures with the dugouts were taken in this style.
It's a simple, straightforward composition, without any tricks or focus.
Minimalism is often shown, with a minimum of color and detail, and the plan is almost always general, less often average.
In general, I have already said that the style has been familiar to me for a very long time, it's just that for the last two years I have been immersed in the reporting wave, in which there are many Deadpan opposites.
And these places have become truly my own, very familiar and somehow personal.
It's like I grew up here or lived here for many years...
Strange, very strange...because the places where I actually grew up and spent my childhood have become somehow alien.
There is an obvious reason - their appearance has changed a lot over the years, that they are no longer recognizable and their appearance does not resemble the old days at all.
But there is something else...That time was so long ago that it feels like it's not the same me that it is now.
