Nice work. I’d love to see them all in color.

I don’t know the area, but I can really feel the vibe. Super interesting documentary work.

Thank you Rafa. It is super intersting area for me, too. Poor districts with Roma community, socially exluded. People would avoid going there out of fear or because there is no reason to go there.

I love seeing what the land of my mother's people is like, I've never been, but someday plan to visit. And yeah, these 4/3 sensors really have a nice look to them.

I thought you might have ancestors in the Czech Republic, since Bartošek, Bartoška, and Bartoš are quite common surnames here. If you ever come to visit this country, let me know — I’d be happy to give you some recommendations on places to see.

Oh hell yeah!!! Yeah my grandfather on my mothers side came to the US as a child, it’s amazing to think that we’re not that many generations removed and yet we’re absolutely disconnected

Then you should definitely visit your ancestors’ country! It could be really interesting for you — even from a photography perspective. I also looked up the frequency of the surname Barotšek in Czechia. There are 865 people with that name, and their average age is 42. 🙂
