5 frames with Minox IIIs

[Julian Tanase]

All taken in the small town of Balchik, on the seashores of the Black Sea, Bulgaria. Once a minute fishermen village, it was noticed by Marie, Queen of Romania (born Princess Marie Alexandra Victoria of Edinburgh), during the "golden age" years between the wars. Developed to some extent and given a royal residence, it is now one of the places where tourists flock to get a feeling of this former royal residence, visiting the exquisitely built and maintained gardens, the Queen's small chateau, and the beautiful view of the Black Sea.

Photographs were taken with a Minox IIIs camera (8x11 film format) on various b&w stock.

A fine set of pictures. I like the "old school" tones in them, it suits the subjects well.

 

[Pete Askew]

Me too, and the way you have presented them.

Thank you, they are indeed rendering that tone of old. Not my initial intention, but what with the style of the buildings and such, they came out really interesting. Thank you !
