Kiev 88

Black and white photo of an old Chevrolet hot rod car parked at the end of a drive way with a partial fence visible to the right. The car is very bare ones with tires mounted on exposed sprints sticking out and big bug eyed head lights and a very flat windshield. At once minimal but classy, a prized possesion of someone who invested a lot of time in it. Shot with a Kiev 88 and ArsatC80f28 lens, on Kentmere100, and developed with FX-39II by Shom Bandopadhaya.

A black and white photo of a dilapidated farm house standing in a field of long grasses. The farm house is two stories with an extension on the side that is a single story which somewhere between unfinished and disrepair. There's a large tree in the background alongside a shed. The entire photo is very heavily affected by light leaks emanating from the middle right and streaking across the frame both up and down in a V shape almost as if destroyed the house and now is sweeping across the landscape.

Black and white photo of a classic silverr Airstream camper is show from the back right and only about 70% of the length of the campter is in frame. The camper is in a parking lot under a bright sun and the sunlight is gleaming off the smooth curves of the sides and top. The back of the camper hsa two step-through electric bicycles. The whole vibe is ready for summer adventures. There's a light leak in the photo that looks like a stylistic flare across the right side of the camper.

Black and white photo of an old white man wearing a short sleeve button shirt and suspenders with a straw hat is sitting sideways on a big tractor looking rather old-timey. His face is in the shade while everything is baking in the sun, he's looking down at his hands (he's holding a phone that I worked hard to obscure from angling) the rear view mirror shows another angle of his jaw and torso. Only the back half of the tractor is visible with its oversized tires and bit of the engine compartment with a lot of trees in the background.

A bunch of sunflowers are in green plastic buckets with some other colorful flowers in the blurry background. The focus isn't on a particular flower but the image is very vibrant and soft in the front, sharp in the middle, and falls off to softness in the background. It evokes more of a sense of a place and time than the actual flowers in the scene, a warm summer farmer's market scene.
