Pripyat

2 min read
A natural concern is whether it is safe to visit Pripyat and the surroundings. The Zone of Alienation is considered relatively safe to visit, and several Ukrainian companies offer guided tours around the area. The radiation levels have dropped considerably, compared to the fatal levels of April 1986 due to the decay of the short-lived isotopes released during the accident. In most places within the city, the level of radiation does not exceed equivalent dose of 1 μSv (one microsievert) per hour.

The city and the Zone of Alienation are now bordered with guards and police, but obtaining the necessary documents to enter the zone is not considered particularly difficult. A guide will accompany visitors to ensure nothing is vandalized or taken from the zone. The doors of most of the buildings are held open to reduce the risk to visitors, and almost all of them can be visited when accompanied by a guide. The city of Chernobyl, located a few km south from Pripyat, has some accommodations including a hotel, many apartment buildings, and a local lodge, which are maintained as a permanent residence for watch-standing crew, and tourists.

Well a few words about photoshop and other stuff for making a new look for the pictures.

a blind man project is all about my own photographs. I make them by using my old Canon AE-1, B&W films (planning to discover colour films) and my own "special" filter which i made on my own. So, because of the filter there is the blackhole effect...

for a blind man project I don't use any software, except the pictures where i combine two photographs.

P.S.
a blind man saw your ghost...
