Some test shots from the Kiev 19 Soviet-era 35mm SLR camera that I found at the thrift store. The thing is built like a tank and delightfully old-school. I used really cheap Kodak film for these tests just to see if it worked. I didn't realize that this camera has a light meter when I tested it, so I guessed at the exposure and aperture settings on all of these.

I scanned the negatives into the computer and added a little sharpening and color correction. You can see the original negative scans at the end.

Just a handful of photos from the mural painting part of the project

Well, it was damp...And there seemed to be lots of girls with scarves around...
