Another part of my Russian portfolio is based on slides taken in Soviet Tallinn and Leningrad in the winter of 1981. More recently, when I came across my old images I was struck by the atmosphere of a now distant world. Fascinated by the possibilities of reshaping old images to be seen in a new way, I set about transforming the slides to dramatize and simplify their qualities of emptiness, light, and colour.
