Sam In Action: A short spin in search for inspiration

The night before, i told myself that no matter how, i'm going to visit the photo expo on soviet times of 60s and 70s. Was having our !@#$%#@%(* russian topan test till 430pm. was tired after a whole day class, fighting the weak flesh, so wanting to go home for a refreshing bath and lie down with my laptop and wiki something interesting, but i went to the expo. Eng yaw again, the definition of freeman, join my little tour.

Been wanting to touch my cam for so long, just didnt had the right reason to lug it around to class. Today the bag was lighter, thanks to the test.

I didnt expect russia to be such "sophisticated" society. I was telling E.Y maybe those russians we usually see around town are the norms, commuters, blands. The expo was ending in few days, and i didnt expect to see a crowd there, but the queue to enter was never ending.

Pictures regarding those post-war communism era, they were quite breathtaking. It is just different being in front of a developed picture then just looking at them in flickriver or somewhere else. Quite inspiring. Cant wait to try out some techniques. Besides that, it seems that photographer those times had their lightroom as well, literally. I can see dodge and burn techniques, high contrast, vignetting, fill light, even cartoonizing. It is just simply amazing that people those times tweak their photographs in the darkroom.
