From the archive



I rescanned all my negatives, since most of the scans got lost throughout the years on different hard drives. This is how I found these images on a Kodak Profoto 100 from 2006. It was my everyday film back then, cheap and easy to find. Here, from the balcony of my parent's flat, I was trying to catch the lightnings on a summer storm. I was unsuccessful, and I immediately rejected these images, considering them worthless.

However, seeing this archaic version of my hometown, with empty streets and the old facade of this communist shopping center (just take a look at the design of those lightning poles!!), I feel the necessity of making sure that I save these shots, as I understand now that the place has changed allot in less then 15 years since that rainy afternoon.

So here is a GIF with 7 frames.
