The first time I’ve been in Teriberka (Murmansk region in the north of Russia) month ago, in august 2016. After that in september. Next time going in november and ten to one will be over there in december. Pictures which I took in this place interesting for me not only as changes in this location, but as changes inside me too. I prefer to go to the same place over and over again, or live in a certain place for a long time. My august photos from Teriberka you can see here.

The snowfall

At 2:00 am yesterday, before going to bed, I’ve looked out the window and… instead of going to bed, have loaded into the camera roll of Ilford HP5+ film, got dressed and went out into the street. December 17, 2015, Moscow, Russia.

ORWOCHROM and other Soviet-era slides

As Iwas preparing for the “Retro Color. Technologies and art” lecture, I stumbled across a remarkable branch where people put up scans of old color film from home archives. Some pictures are so heart-warming, I couldn’t resist getting a selection to wax nostalgic about. Unfortunately, I don’t have old color film of my own, although even back then I took, developed and even printed images in color. Here you get mostly ORWO from the German Democratic Republic, incredibly popular in the USSr in the 70s and 80s. There was actually very little alternative for color, except SVEMA and sometimes KODAK, if you could get it. Here I was more interested in color than mementos, but it’s still an impressive selection.
