I took the FED Micron half frame camera and am very pleased.
I will need to learn the camera and invest in some fine grain film.
The photos were made yesterday in Garner, North Carolina.
Corner of E Main Street and Emory Street in Garner North Carolina. I made the photograph with a FED Micron half frame 35mm camera on FomaPan 100 film. Sign for a Garner business promoting both yoga and wine. The photograph was made on Main Street in Garner North Carolina.

Nameless Lenin: A Conversation That Never Happened (FED Micron+Lucky SHD 100)

In the first frame Lenin observed the photographer.
In the second frame the photographer observed Lenin.
No winner could be determined.
Both sides maintained silence.

Marble holds the gaze. The artist's name is erased, The leader stays stern. A direct half-length portrait brings forward one of the most sculpturally convincing monuments to Lenin in the Muzeon collection. Moving past standard Soviet mass production, this white marble piece stands out with its refined execution: the confident turn of the shoulders, a hand tucked into the pocket, natural folds along the lapel, and a piercing, squinting gaze fixed directly on the viewer. Though preserving high academic mastery, the sculpture has lost its creator's name, registered in museum archives simply as "Author Unknown." Captured on Lucky SHD 100 film with the half-frame FED Micron against a crisp April sky, the historical icon turns into a study of pure sculptural art. Artwork: Lenin Author: Unknown Material: Marble Location: Moscow, Arts Park «Muzeon» Photo taken: April 9, 2018 Film format: 35mm half-frame Camera: Fed Micron (№8110014) Film: Lucky SHD 100 New Black & White (expired, expiration date unknown) Developer: Xtol Lab & Scanner: printbypro / Noritsu LS-1100 Philosophy: Great craftsmanship remains great even when the artist's name surrenders to the identity of his subject. Xtol delicately renders the marble's midtones: bright spring sunlight hits the left side of the figure without clipping highlights on the forehead or suit lapels, while expired Lucky SHD 100 lends a velvety micro-contrast against the bare tree branches. I asked a question. The marble kept the silence. An experienced agent. In the first photograph, he was observing. In the second, the stringer moved closer. Fed Micron has no zoom lens, so negotiations with history had to be conducted in person. A few steps forward, a low angle, an attempt to establish direct visual contact. Lenin listened carefully. Did not interrupt. Did not argue. Did not reply. Stone is sometimes far more disciplined than people.

The stringer stepped closer. Lenin refused to step back. They looked at each other. The result was a draw. The low-angle perspective emphasizes the sculptured jawline, brow, and suit collar. April sunlight highlights the stone's tactile surface, converting this anonymous monument into a dramatic, almost tangible study. Xtol development at this ultra-close range shines brilliantly: micro-textures, tiny chips, and marble grains on the chin and nose remain fully visible. Expired Lucky SHD 100 offers a rich tonal span from deep shadows in the eye sockets to clean highlights on the shoulder.

Oh look, it is me!
Am I turning into hat?
No, just Nadine here.

Hat sits on the head. What stays hidden under brim? Could it be a thought? The White Square turns into a stage where Nadine Froh plays herself — and everyone passing by. The hat becomes a metaphor for a gesture that needs no explanation. The city watches silently: glass and dome, office and church, all breathing in one rhythm. It’s not a walk — it’s a dialogue between chance and form.
