“The Halo Photo-Duel: The Sun Drew a Circle Around the One Who Tried to Capture the Sun”

On Petrovsky Boulevard, reality challenged itself to a duel. The Stringer and @Lomografik — two mirrors, two flashes of light. The halo isn’t a lens flaw but proof that the city photographs itself. Each ray is a nerve, each frame a diagnosis. For a moment, Moscow became the camera, and man — its film.

Technical Details: 
Location: Alexander Garden, Moscow
Camera: Zenit-35F (Lens: Minitar-1, ƒ/8, 1/125s)
Film: Fomapan 100 Classic B&W (Expired 03/2007)
Date: 03/06/2017
Scanner: Noritsu LS-1100 (#printbypro)
Philosophy:  “When light decides to shoot first, photography becomes an act of self‑recognition.”

The stringer stood on the boulevard holding something unknown. This unknown thing was very small, yet it bit fiercely with silver halide film. Suddenly, Lomografik walked up and performed a resounding "click." The stringer also performed a "click," though slightly to the left of his armpit. The sun, exhausted from watching such photographic geometry, curled itself into a glowing bagel and settled directly onto the stringer’s shoulders. The fair buzzed, gingerbread was sold, and two humans temporarily turned into glass elements, refracting 2007 straight into 2017.

“A ring flare is not an optical flaw; it is the only honest border between the one pulling the trigger and the one caught on the other side of the shutter.”

Threshold of Visibility — A Dangerous Duet on the Great Full Moon Day (Svema A-2Sh)

Light cuts through the space,
two shadows share the moment —
the frame holds the edge.

We composed a relfie. But since we wore round pieces of dark glass, we saw neither ourselves nor each other. This is the highest form of the genre. Yuri, speaking the ancient dialect of Lomo-Punk, and I, merely holding the 1963 Zeiss, decided to become two dark circles with legs. The sun, either setting, rising, or simply confused by the calendar, agreed to burn a hole in the sky. The Svema film, completely bewildered by this much light, turned the heavens into boiling milk and our faces into shadows of shadows. We are a half-frame. We are the missing half of a thought that nobody started. The moon was full, or the sun was angry. In black and white, the difference is purely philosophical. We looked at the world, the world looked at us, and both parties politely pretended not to notice.

Technical Credits:
Camera: Zeiss Ikon Colora (1963)
Lens: Novicar 50mm f/2.8-f/22
Focus: Zone focusing (Infinity, or perhaps the distance to the sun)

Location: Russia, Moscow — Theatre Square
Date: 13.05.2017
Scanner: Epson Stylus Photo RX500
Style: Lomo-Punk / Half-frame
Philosophy: "To see nothing clearly, yet record it with absolute certainty"

Three Witnesses to the Void

Someone else’s breath
on the glass of the old camera.
Night is not empty.

Here you are — yes, you. I’m staring at you through this broken little window and saying it plain: you are not alone.
You sit there with your laptop open, pretending the room is yours, pretending silence means absence.
It doesn’t.
They live in the blur, in the dust, in the chemical ghosts left on the frame.
Two girls. One boy. Or maybe not even that — maybe just the shape of a visit.
They’re always there, wherever you are, as if the world keeps a second copy of your room and never tells you about it.

“Kebab House Beside Oblivion” (Svema 65)

Shade and heat,
taste as memory,
smoke as prayer.

Here, time grills itself on coals, and space smells of spice and dust. The façade becomes a stage where life repeats its ritual of taste and waiting.

Moscow, Gagarin Square (Vavilova Street 5, bld. 6) 
Roadside kebab stand (no longer existing)
Camera: Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta B2 (531) 
Lens: Carl Zeiss Tessar 7.5cm ƒ/3.5 
Film: Svema 65, type 120 (expired 04.1980) + dev. D‑76

This roadside kebab joint once stood a few steps from the darkroom “Sreda,” a place where film lovers surrendered their negatives to chemistry, hope, and the occasional miracle.

The kebabs here were famously described as “deliciously wrong,” a phrase that worked less as praise and more as a declaration of artistic intent. The building looked like it had been assembled from leftover decisions, yet it held its ground with the confidence of a structure that knew flavor could outlive architecture.

Both the darkroom and the kebab stand have vanished, leaving behind nothing but a stubborn aftertaste in the city’s memory. In this photograph, the ordinary becomes myth: smoke as narrative, grease as philosophy, and a humble shack as the last honest monument in a neighborhood that has since forgotten how to be imperfect.
