I bought a Super Ikonta A and found a roll of exposed Russian film in it. This was the most salvageable of the images on the film when I developed it.
According to the seller, his grandfather found the camera in Germany when serving in the Soviet invasion forces, and used it professionally after the war. He believes that this is a picture of his mother as a young girl in the early 1960s.

I am so thrilled to see that so longed for GRAIN effect in nearly every edited photo today, is not necessary in this series of photos...
Contrary, it is sometimes a necessity to REDUCE NOISE rather than adding it.
With this photo (and this series) I 'danced' between leaving or taking away the grain, depending on the photo.
Every one of these photos mean something to me. It reminds me of the time I have spent in this sanctuary, where the majority of this film was shot... I can remember every positioning, trying to think what could be the best possible shot...
As this was my first film, I wanted to use my film the most optimal way, with minimum of bad photos. But I wouldn't panic about it. Or degrade myself if I fail. No! My intentions with film photography were (and are) not recognizable or tangible to my mind... But I know what I feel when I'm doing it. Pure joy. Contentment. Isn't that the most essential here?
THIS PHOTO...
also depicts 2PM-ish period (nearly same time as the previous photo in CHAPEL... we had a lunch break so I was able to take these photos carefully)...
Again, playing with the shadows and light... I must admit I think I did some arrangements of the grille to get the best looking look.. I hope you don't mind :)
