June 2025 Picture of the Month

This month, rather than a new picture, I have dug an image taken 23 years ago out of my files. It shows the doorway into a beautiful wooden church rebuilt and preserved in the amazing museum of historic buildings in Pirogovo near Kyiv. It was taken on a trip to Ukraine and Russia as part of my Great Photographic Journeys project in 2002, which led to the book of the same name, published by Dewi Lewis. Ukraine has been much on my mind in recent months, and I often reflect on the freedoms, and unlimited support,  I enjoyed in both countries during that trip. I would not consider such a project today. Bronica RF645 camera, 40mm lens, Fujichrome film.
