TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY

The series Travel Photography was shot with Ihagee 6x9cm camera from 1920s. The camera has a simple frame viewfinder (broken and useless), focusing by distance meter, shutter speeds of 1/25, 1/50, 1/100 and B. All photos were taken without a tripod (mostly handheld, but sometimes I used garbage bins or whatever I could find for the support). Most pictures were taken on Scala film before it was discontinued, other - on TMax 400 or 100.
If I remember well,Dostoevsky had lived in Semipalatinsk.Or am I wrong?
 
If an image can capture the essence of a place, than I guess this one does. Cold, drear and somewhat forlorn and overlooked. Great 'realism' capture in my opinion.
