A winter trip to Kaliningrad, captured as a visual diary on my half-frame Olympus Pen F. This album is a collection of random but atmospheric fragments from the journey: freezing walks past massive Soviet panel buildings, striking modernist staircases, quiet snowy streets, and warm indoor moments to escape the Baltic cold. I decided to shoot a roll of CineStill 800T. While it's famous for neon nightscapes, its cool, cinematic color shifts perfectly captured the freezing, gloomy mood of the winter days, while still giving that beautiful warm halation to the night lights. The half-frame format naturally turned these separate memories into connected diptychs. Processed at home.
