Embark on a visual odyssey across the vast and diverse landscapes of Eurasia with "Through the Slit: A TransSiberian Journey." This photography album chronicles a remarkable voyage in a 2nd class cabin on the legendary TransSiberian Train, traversing from the heart of Moscow to the bustling metropolis of Beijing, with poignant stops in Irkutsk and Ulaanbaatar.

Each photograph, captured at precise one-hour intervals through the narrow opening of a cabin window, reveals a fleeting yet intimate glimpse into the ever-changing scenery. From the dense, historical woodlands of Russia and the serene expanse of Lake Baikal to the rugged steppes of Mongolia and the dynamic outskirts of China, these images encapsulate the soul of a journey measured not only in distance but in the profound passage of time.

This collection transcends traditional travel photography, offering a unique perspective framed by the constraints of a train window, where every shot is an unplanned yet harmonious encounter with the world outside. The limited viewpoint transforms each image into a rare vignette, a testament to the beauty found in moments of stillness and movement alike.

"Through the Slit" invites viewers to experience the solitude and camaraderie of long-distance travel, the quiet contemplation of passing scenes, and the unexpected beauty that lies just beyond the glass. Join us on this extraordinary expedition, where the rhythm of the rails guides a journey through nature, culture, and the timeless allure of the TransSiberian Railway.
