Abandoned II

"I see beauty in the old. I see beauty in the ancient. All of this while rotting architecture still lives in the modern age."

In the course of three weeks I've been "visiting" the old parts of Bucharest, with my friend, Marian, covering the Romanian government's lack of interest towards reconditioning or demolition for the most dangerous and old landmark structures.

And we did, and doing all of this by practicing our common hobby: Photography.

The buildings we photograph are in an advanced state of degradation, but the most worrisome fact is that there are over 100 buildings like these in Bucharest, most of them in the capital's center, where people roam the streets every day, distracted by restaurants, bars and pubs.

I've seen another version of this city. An old version. A dangerous one.

We invite you to see the same thing.

I hope you enjoy our work and the passion with which we create it.
