The recent thread regarding Antanas Sutkus and photography in Lithuania (found here) has sparked some interest regarding this part of the world - the Eastern European countries.

Having had different pictures of Eastern Europe from different RFF members scattered in different forum threads, it is time for a dedicated thread on Eastern Europe for RFF members to post their pictures - both past and present.

So please post your pictures of Eastern Europe in here. I will make a start.

Poland - 2011

The question is where does Eastern Europe start? Where‘s the exact center of the continent?
But good idea! I‘ll contribute a bit later.

Thanks Erik, it's a scan from negative. Looking forward to see more of your pictures from '90 in Poland.

For me it's everything east of Iron Curtain, I know it's long gone but the stigma is still present.

And where does it end? On the Bosphorus? Is the "asian" side of Istanbul still Eastern Europe?

In those years I was shooting with an Olympus Pen FT (24x18mm). I used this camera also in Turkey. I don't have good prints of those, but maybe I can make some scans.

I remember your shots from Turkey in Pen thread!

This one is like 3 weeks old, Pen F with 38/1.8.

Poland, near Warsaw, 2020
 
I've been looking, only a few negatives (from the Pen FT) from Poland survive.

I had in the early 1990's an affair with a Polish girl, she was a quite brilliant law student. She now is judge in Olsztyn, Beata Faralisz. I met her in Utrecht, she was there on holidays. She invited me to visit her in Barczewko, I came, but she had there another friend, so I didn't stay long.

I'll print some of the negatives to show them here.

In fact the other side of the Bosphorus isn't Europe!
