I decided to break my system: to display Kubenskoye in pictures not graphically, but aesthetically. It's clear that all these definitions are conditional, but I needed something to contrast the graphics.
This time, I didn’t create any new routes or discover any new places… but I captured familiar views in an unfamiliar way.
And, of course, I captured the views that I usually shoot from the same angles.
...I wonder when I’ll take a break from this long‑term project and show the interim results?
This can be filmed indefinitely or until you get tired of it.
It’s a good thing I have a limited number of points for this kind of shooting, otherwise I’d be spending most of my time on it.
If we delve a bit deeper into the topic of photographing places from the same vantage point at different times, then for such a project you can choose either a place that changes rapidly or, conversely, a place where everything is monumental.
With the first approach, everything is clear – you can traverse some place over the years and arrive at a result where everything has changed beyond recognition.
The second option is interesting and metaphysical – where nothing changes after decades, or only small changes are noticeable.
Such projects require patience or the ability to remember the necessary aspects only at the right moment, so as not to get “bored” by them.
