I don’t hide my love for Saint-Petersburg, Russia. If you asked me to pick 3 cities anywhere in the world that I’d like to return for street photography, Saint-Petersburg would make the cut without hesitation. So much so that I do plan on returning for a longer stay this year.
While I’d been before, this last visit was my first time during the summer. The 20+ hours of sunlight and warmer weather really brings the beautiful city to life, and all the character it contains. I could go on and on about all the things I love about the city, but I’ll save that for other posts. This one is about the photos.
So here’s 33 photos that I was able to capture during my time in Saint-Petersburg…

Man, really really good photos.
I fell in love with the girl at number 7, the most beautifully deep face I have seen in this world.
Number 24 is literally a religious experience…
What an amazing world we have created and are living in. What amazing creatures we are. Our existence here is so tragic.. So fragile.. So ephemeral.. So touching..
