This project is a calling card for the Golden Ring, captured on film. In the age of information technology and artificial intelligence, I wanted to convey the beauty of such historic places using a tool that is also receding into history. The footage presented in this project is not perfect, but it is imbued with the soul and atmosphere of these locations. You will see Suzdal, Vladimir, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, and Yaroslavl just as I saw them, through the viewfinder of my Olympus OM-1.
