The nostalgia exposed on celluloid – TelAviv 2019 on Kodak TX400.
Due to the stopped working scanner, right now I only shot and develop the new rolls and put them on the shelf with the hope one day to scan these tons of frames. Both – 135 and 120, everything that I shot during the long and catastrophic year. Most of the developed rolls are different ilford films, but today I’m posting the moments of my memories of the street life of TelAviv I photographed one year ago on Kodak TX400 (Tri-X 400).
It’s so incredible how quickly we got used to these masks. How fast they broke into our lives – different forms and different colors, some people took this new wardrobe item too far with the stylistic fashion. I really miss seeing the faces of people. On the streets and in my office, in the markets and supermarkets. I miss the feeling that I clearly understand what people tell me.
Well, now some words about photography – the main part of my blog. Despite the country situation, I find myself photographing even more than usual. Both formats – film and digital, sometimes in color, mostly black and white, experimenting with freelensing and multi-exposure technique. The sad fact is the “quarantine” zine is still under construction but seems like I’m going to finish it next two weeks during the next lockdown and to publish as-is. Depend on the results I will get, I will make another zine-book – actuality during “pandemic”. I photographed a lot from the start of the Covid19 period and have to do something with these images. They lost all the interest that I felt from the start of using masks and social (physical) distance days. Now, this became the NEW NORMAL.
Love the simplicity which you maintain even in cluttered environment… greetings.
thank you for taking a look.and for the kind words 😉
Simply amazing .. There is silence on the streets, there is the faces. shadows.
Beautiful!!
Thank you Naomi. Its almost impossible to people smiling in public these days. These masks cover every possible emotion.
Lovely work Victor! I totally agree with you on missing people’s faces. These masks are here to stay unfortunately… it’s so frustrating when you notice an interesting interaction or when you’re close to people but their faces are covered with masks… In the end everyone just looks kinda the same. Sad state of affairs for us candid street photogs.
All the best for your zine completion!
thank you Yuri. I just returned home right now from the next protest in Jerusalem. Balfur protest is the best “party” in the city and it available every week even now when another lockdown is the air. The only place right now to charge the batteries of my energy
Superb pics! I especially love the birds and the second to last pic!
thank you my friend !
