This black-and-white image shows a close-up view of a railway track section. The photo appears to be taken using a film camera, as evident from the visible film perforations and the “KODAK” film branding at the top of the frame. In the center of the image is a metal rail with handwritten markings in white paint. The rail rests on concrete railroad ties, which are surrounded by crushed stone ballast. The markings on the rail include numbers, letters, and dates—likely used for identification or maintenance purposes. The image gives an industrial, documentary feel and captures the texture of the gravel, the rough surface of the rail, and the graininess of the film, adding a sense of age and atmosphere to the photograph.

This image is a black-and-white lith print photograph. It depicts a single rose blooming just above the edge of a weathered wooden fence. The rose is centrally framed and sharply focused, creating a striking contrast against the out-of-focus background, which consists of dappled light filtering through trees. The overall tone of the image is warm and grainy, characteristic of the lith printing technique, which gives it a timeless, almost painterly quality. The texture of the wood and the soft bokeh in the background enhance the nostalgic and artistic feel of the photograph.

Spring is everywhere. Frozen tulips

🎞️ Polaroid i-type Summer Edition
This is a Polaroid photo capturing a spring scene. Two tulips, one with a hint of pink, are emerging from the snow, their green leaves partially buried under the fresh white layer. The flowers appear to be in a small garden patch beside a building, with a white and red brick wall in the background. The contrast between the delicate spring blooms and the thick, cold snow creates a beautiful and slightly surreal image — a moment where winter and spring briefly overlap.

This image depicts a dimly lit, arched underground corridor of an old building. The corridor has curved ceilings with exposed pipes running along its length, and the walls appear aged and worn, showing signs of decay and grime. Two hanging square lanterns cast dramatic shadows, enhancing the mysterious, almost eerie atmosphere of the space. The floor features a striking black-and-white checkerboard tile pattern, partially damaged and worn with time. The image is a *lith print*, a photographic technique known for its high contrast, gritty texture, and subtle tones, especially in the highlights. It was printed in a darkroom, giving the photograph its characteristic moody and artistic quality, with deep blacks, glowing whites, and a slightly grainy texture that adds to the nostalgic and haunting feel of the scene.

The image is a black and white photograph of a decaying tree stump in a forest. The stump is old and weathered, with a large hollow section in its center, indicating natural decomposition. The texture of the bark is rough and deeply grooved, emphasizing the age and exposure to the elements. Fallen leaves cover the forest floor, and blurred trees in the background create a soft, dreamy atmosphere with a shallow depth of field. The composition focuses closely on the stump, making it the main subject against the out-of-focus woodland backdrop.

The image has a grainy, high-contrast black-and-white aesthetic of film photography. It depicts an old, textured wall with two distinct elements: 1. A stencil graffiti of an elderly man wearing a hat labeled "Львів" (Lviv). His face has a detailed, expressive look, with a beard and deep lines, and the paint slightly drips at the bottom. 2.
