"Kiev"

When I started researching vintage cameras, I had no idea there were so many Russian makes and models out there. But it makes sense. During the Cold War, the West was the enemy, so the Soviets had to manufacture their own cameras. And, if you think about it, photography was an art form that really was outside politics. I think amateur photography was huge in Russia and the Soviet Block countries. For this camera, I picked a background that had a late 1940's feel to it. I think it works with this very Russian-looking camera.
