Karolin

 



This is Karolin. A young, unique and creative soul: https://karolinkorre.ee/about-me

One summer, we met in Pärnu, and she showed us her parents' summer cottage. Not far from my aunt's place.

The human con

 


Do you know that Rael Artel used to run a small gallery space in Pärnu?
This spot was where I believe the gallery space was. Kadri and I used to always go back there to reminisce about the memories we had with this place.
Now Rael is busy with another great project in Tallinn: https://nakedisland.eu/

Corner of Karusselli

 


Pictured is the corner of Karusseli tänav in @visitparnu which has always been the central beach and home corner. Pärnu vibes.

-

It still surprises me while experimenting with these old expired negatives and how different the results are. Some frames are green and some are red. I think somebody who has more skills can explain this. Obviously, there is a connection to a colder and warmer, natural and artificial light, yes?

Kamal, the owner of Vaga Mama

 


He also has a restaurant in Pärnu. I was able to take his portrait on Rüütli street in front of his restaurant. The food in his restaurants was always the best!

Jan Saudek's exhibition


 

A terrible photo/scan. But I appreciate it whenever there are photography exhibitions. Like this one, thanks to Uue Kunsti Muuseum I have been able to see some great photography and art every year when I visit the museum.

Ei Rail Baltikale


 

You most likely can't read the fine line, but it says: "No Rail Baltica" @railbalticaofficial has been a problem for many people in Estonia and in the other Baltic States. Somebody was brave enough to write on the wall...of the Pärnu Beach House.

Unfortunately with some mistakes. There is a great yellow hue on the sides of the frames, not on the first frame so much, but definitely on the others. Apparently, this is caused by the blue layer deteriorating. Hmm? Ever had that problem before?

Club Monaco

 


This is the last photo of the fancy storefront series, which never came to its full potential due to a poor choice of film. This is a former Club Monaco location in Toronto downtown on Bloor Street West. They are no longer in business and the former area of lush nature and life has been replaced with gray, empty walls and loneliness. What a great end for this project?

While editing these photos I am not happy I happened to choose this film for this project. The after effect would have been cool for something else. These strict architectural shots of storefronts are not the best selection. Anyway, I guess I have one last photo to post next time. But that doesn't mark the end of the red-hued photos.
