The Split Jewish Cemetery is more than just a collection of graves; it's a chronicle of a resilient community. Photographing it with LomoChrome '92, a film that celebrates the charm of imperfect and bygone eras, felt like an appropriate if the unconventional, way to engage with its enduring spirit. It was a reminder that beauty and memory can be found not just in perfect clarity but also in the evocative haze of nostalgia.

Berlin's Tempelhof Feld is unlike any other. This vast expanse, once a bustling airport central to the city's history, now serves as a massive public park—a unique blend of historical remnants and wide-open recreational space. In the summer of 2023, I joined a photo walk organized by the great folks at Safelight Berlin, armed with my trusty Canon F-1 and a very special roll of film: a heavily expired AGFA HDC 100.

Due to some issues with the space available and my fear of falling, I left my Canon F-1 home. I traveled to Copenhagen with a more compact camera. This is how I ended up cycling with my Lomography LC-A+. I wanted a consistent look throughout the trip, so instead of my usual experimental approach to film usage, I bought some rolls of Kodak Gold 200 and took them with me. You will see this in the images I selected for this.
