I visit St. Petersburg about once a year, and this is an economic forum. Also, in different years, I have been on different waves and frequencies that relate to creativity in photography.
My research has shown me what kind of creative wave cycles I have and how they affect my perception of the surrounding reality.
Based on this, and also based on all the pictures of St. Petersburg, it turns out that I shot this city in different genres on different creative waves.
I have Peter's street, spotted, postcard, evening, night and reportage.
Reportage means that images of city views can be used for publication in the media.
In other words, the content of the image fully meets the criteria for publication in certain resources.
It is unlikely that a mottled street, where a variety of details are mixed in chaos, is suitable for illustrating any news.
And this time, my reportage approach to the pictures allowed me to use them to cover the news about the upcoming "Days of the Vologda Region" on the territory of the Peter and Paul Fortress.
But I probably won't go there...
The most important thing is that I have no desire for it.
After big cities, I want to go somewhere remote.
Perhaps I'm already used to such work swings and I don't want to go back to St. Petersburg, and again to the same place where I was recently.
Although I would go to Moscow...
...In general, the walks on this visit were not very enthusiastic due to the sudden refusal of accreditation for the forum.
The mood was spoiled for all days.
And the weather wasn't encouraging, even though I had a lot of free time.
Most likely, I was on the shift of the creative wave – it usually happens at the end of June.
And I felt empty inside.
The most important thing is that the photos still came in handy.
Well, although I was not very enthusiastic, I still experienced something in terms of emotions and sensations.
The St. Petersburg metro, by the way, is very simple...I get confused all the time in Moscow.
To be continued...
