this was my first time trying T-Max, and I while it's incredibly clean and smooth without being flat, it's not a perfect match to my style - at least, the one I'm trying to form. Surprisingly, I've enjoyed working with Tri-X a lot more - its grain is just right to my eye, and the tonality is exactly what I usually envision when looking through the viewfinder

Almaty

Country/Region: Kazakhstan
Almaty

Almaty might not be the capital, but don’t let that fool you. It’s Kazakhstan’s biggest and most vibrant city, and locals will tell you it’s an absolute must. It’s a cultural crossroads where people from all over Central Asia, Russia, and beyond come together, creating a rich, cultural mix. Think: temples beside mosques, mountains framing every view, and a bit of unpredictable traffic. But the real highlight? The warm-hearted locals, for whom hospitality isn’t just tradition.
