In life: Schwarzfahrer; since I lost my ticket for the parliament of birds - their conference makes no sense.

Hotspur🏳️🌈🇺🇦"Lilac," Kyriak Kostandi, 1902.
Kostandi (1852-1921) was a Ukrainian artist and scholar; he was a member of a group of Realists known as the Itinerants but also experimented with Impressionism, as we see here.
The delicate morning light touches the domes of a Ukrainian village, and outside a wall, by some blooming lilac bushes, a woman sits and weeps. We have no indication what is making her so sad, but it seems appropriate for the current situation in Ukraine. It's a beautiful, yet sad and enigmatic painting.
A somber Flower Friday, to be sure.
From the Odessa Fine Arts Museum.

Got my first film back.
What I found after I’d sent it off is that the DoF scale on the old Zeiss lenses is about one stop more optimistic than what we’d use today. This seems to be by design — aligned with 1930s–50s printing standards. The scale, of course, is easy to cheat… though there’s a certain charm in shooting by it — I think.
