A Closed City.

This term is used to describe a settlement where travel or residency restrictions are applied so that specific authorization is required to visit or remain overnight. Such places may be sensitive military establishments or secret research installations that require much more space or internal freedom than is available in a conventional military base. This series takes place in Omsk, Russia. After World War II, Omsk became one of a few closed cities in the Soviet Union, barring foreigners until Perestroika and Glasnost, to deter espionage attacks on Omsk's military and space industries. The following images depict various observations of moments, places and feelings throughout my journey in deepest Siberia.
