A lyrical digression about photographic equipment on the way. My budget is $100 maximum for a companion on my upcoming not an easy trip - a $50 camera and a $50 lens.
film cameras are always a "lottery at a flea market" ..
For example, a creeping inter-frame distance can "nullify" all this complex, long eye-to-eye dance with an unfamiliar and wary model ...
I shoot a lot of portraits in my travels around the world.
And it's usually people I don't know at all.
For example, it's you. And you're on the street. And you're eating.
And here I am - I am a photographer, I ppeared and pokes a camera in your face..
it won’t work out that way..
a human approach is needed. But this is no longer about photography, but about psychology, as a feature of street photography...
So, when you have gone through this difficult and costly path - reached the end of the world and did not become a victim of yours curiosity, but safely reached the photo lab - you no longer want a surprise in the form of overlapping frames due to floating frame spacing, or stray light through a hole slow self-timer ... many have probably learned this lesson in life .. ))) - ?
And that is why I always test cameras after purchase. And before the trip. And after renovation. So random, not always meaningful portraits remain on the film.
Here is one of them

in order to slightly correct the situation with the lack of black and white photographs - Petr & Alexander. freelance cabinet furniture assemblers in the collapsed as a result of perestroika of the USSR. new financial relationships, shortages of goods, used clothes from Europe, many Christian denominations from across the ocean and absolutely unsafe on the streets. A difficult time for life and a great time for black and white photography. Forgotten brands - "Svema", "Tasma", original film, not a Chinese analogue without silver, repackaged in a retro box.. real silver halide in photographic gelatin in film emulsion .. photochemistry plants and production of film cameras .. photographic paper "Slavich", "brome-portrait" ("Бром-портрет"), "Березка" ("Birch"), and desktop electric gloss-maker in a dark room.. incredible memories
I think this is one of the test films in preparation for this photo shoot in the Caucasus ( My budget is $100 maximum for a companion on my upcoming trip - a $50 camera and a $50 lens )

when, due to a trip, I buy the right lens and look for its strengths, I always experiment with people.
I don't like making the test with a "brick wall" view.
This, of course, is instructive, but I'm bored.
So often in my film there are random portraits, not always meaningful. Here is one

This is a closed Winery in Southern France taken with a Diana camera(ca.1960s) on expired and decomposing Svema 250 film. Sticky film is a good thing!
