Imagine if you found an old unexposed analogue film from your trip to Russia ten years ago, got it exposed and realised you were sitting on a Glasnost oil mine?

You know when you put your hand into the pockets of an old jacket and find 20 bucks? Well this is like the artistic version: finding an old unexposed analogue film from your trip to Russia ten years ago, getting it exposed, realising you're sitting on a post-Glasnost oil mine, and making an exhibition of it... 'From Russia With Love' is a photographic exhibition of Matt Irwin's snaps opening at his eponymous gallery on August 12th.
