All photos taken from a moving car.
This was not a focus on faces but the environment which they inhabit.
This is Smolensk... 400kg from Moscow towards the Polish border.
This walled city was destroyed several times throughout its long <br />history since it was on the invasion routes of both Napoleon and Hitler. In 1941 during world war II it was the scene of the Battle Of Smolensk many soldiers and civilians died.
This is where the recent plane crash of the Polish president occurred.
It has a long history of war death and violence hence the journal name.... Where Angels Deserve To Die

Alvin wooed my packed restaurant full of the wealthy from all around the world for six days producing his modern Chinese classics with lots of twists. The food was simply amazing.<br /><br />I took a series of photos when we were not so busy of Alvin and some of the kitchen team at work.<br /><br />Camera: Nikon F6 every thing you have read about the camera is true it is simply amazing<br />Lenses: Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor 2470mm f/2.8 Nikkor 28mm f/2.8<br />Film: Neopan 1600<br />Scanner: Canoscan 8800F<br /><br />Its the first time i used the Neopan 1600 and i must say i was really impressed with the tones and clarity. The restaurant is quiet dark and has lots of very soft background lighting so at times its difficult to photograph without a flash in this environment. No flash was used<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://my.onexposure.net/media/medium/27290.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://my.onexposure.net/media/medium/27292.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://my.onexposure.net/media/medium/27293.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://my.onexposure.net/media/medium/27294.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://my.onexposure.net/media/medium/27295.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://my.onexposure.net/media/medium/27296.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://my.onexposure.net/media/medium/27297.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://my.onexposure.net/media/medium/27298.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://my.onexposure.net/media/medium/27299.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://my.onexposure.net/media/medium/27300.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> http://gabphotos.onexposure.net/journals/279/ http://gabphotos.onexposure.net/journals/156/ Restaurant life through a lens Kamchatka Crab<br /><br />Probably the hottest selling product on any menu in Moscow at the moment<br />A bowl or plate of this crab can fetch upwards of US200 per dish.<br />The texture is like a juicy piece of meat.
