Yes, this Russian photographer has been lying around on my to-blog bookmark list for quite sometime. Somehow, I never got around to post about how spectacular his works are. These photos come from his series called Time Standing Still (1998-2000), which I think will be quite an exquisite introduction to his works on my blog. I love the ghostly effect, making them not only hauntingly beautiful, but it also helps to reflect the buzziness in nowadays environment. The B&W is really beautiful, I can imagine it would have been a preference of his, I would like to keep it simple and yet striking too. Anywho, I came across this holga and diana F+ lenses for both Nikon and Canon DSLR, I have such a big urge to try them out. Especially knowing that they only cost around $18 on Ebay. I am such a big advocator for Holga, it's cheap and it's great for tons of reasons if you want a lomo camera. I know the lenses will not be as good as the real ones in creating that nice cheap-dreamy quality, but there's no harm in trying them out anyways. Just trying to create that image in my head right now.. how the lense will look so disproportionate compared to how huge D90 is, it will look funny like a small head on a big body.
