Retro photos: Army years

[Hlop]

Found and scanned some old negatives. They aren't artistic and were badly scratched, noisy etc. but they are memories about past and I'd like to share some of them with you




There are more in my gallery: http://hlop.net/gallery/Army

Thanks Chris. In 1990 it was Soviet Army which was converted to Russian Army in the mid 1991 after Soviet Union has been broken down. Training Camp was in Gvardeysk, town in Kaliningrad area and then I was transferred to Limited Army Forces in Germany, Furstenwalde

These must be wonderful memories for you Mikhail.
You've done a nice job digitising them.

These are the sort of memories you really need to keep. Your army service is a part of history now too.

Oh and BTW, you havent changed much, just a bit older.

Hi Alex, I already found where you're from a while ago but didn't have a chance to PM you yet!

I really like the first one and I think the unusual framing works very well with the shot. Fantastic memories.

Mikhail - Those are wonderful pictures in your gallery. Thanks for sharing them. There is a special warmth to them. Those were obviously some very good friends and strong, lasting memories. Of course I'm sure it wasn't all fun.
