photo-of-the-month August 2010: Olya on Red Square, Moscow






















This month's motif leads us back to Yeltsin's Russia (1998). I took this portrait with a Kiev 88 camera - the "Ukranian Hasselblad". Very challenging to use by hand. But in this case I didn't have much of an alternative: if you use a tripod on Red Square you get stopped by militsia within seconds. You can download your personal copy here
