Today my series of photographs is about my recent collaboration with friends and strangers. More exactly – the candid images of my friends and staged portraits of the strangers whom I meet during the walks in the different sites of the country. Sometimes I ask people for portraits. Not happening to me too often as I managed to do this a few years ago, but still very nice portraits of those who said “yes” to my ask about to “pose” for me just for a click.
Additionally From the long of very exciting things that happened to me last months (yes, not only negative stuff), I can highlight the two most recent. One of them is purchasing of the mint Horizon 202 plastic, manual film camera, which I once was the happy owner of until it stopped working completely, but it left me a bunch of happy memories. I hunted for this camera few long months on eBay and finally found one, which made me want to hold it in my hands. I got it yesterday and the first film I’m planning to load will be the Kosmo Fote Agent Shadow, an ISO400 panchromatic black-and-white film. Another, even more, exciting for me – is the new photography site – published yesterday by my son - https://tombezrukov.com/blogTOM BEZRUKOV Photographer and Video Creator. Seems like this blog will be devoted mainly to film photography and some “philosophic” aspects of the idea of taking photographs. As well the site is already used as his Videography and Photography portfolio. Take a look, please.
And now some photographs with a short explanation when I have to add one.
