Estonia 2003
After college one of my good friends began to learn about his grandparents' language and culture. When the bottom fell out of the consulting market, he high-tailed it up out of the country and went to live in Estonia. In the summer of 2003 I went over to Estonia for 8 days to visit him. Graciously, my friend showed me around the majority of the entire country, a beautiful land of birch forests and old farms dotted with castles, German manor houses, old windmills, beautiful rivers, German WWII fortifications, and Soviet-era eyesores. This really is a beautiful land that I hopes gets preserved for the future.
The Photographs
Photographs were taken with a Minolta SRT101 camera. Lenses used were 58/1.4, 28/3.5, 35/2.8, 125/2.8. Film was a mixture of Velvia 50 (first roll), Kodachrome PKR 64, and Scala 200. As there isn't much hiking that was safe, I wound up exploring different subject material like structures and cityscapes that I hadn't shot in quite some time.

Additionally, check out some cheezy digital camera shots. Sony cybershot digital camera was used.
My favorite film shots are:
