The Bucharest Metro is largely unchanged since Ceausescu built it in 1979. It's retro cool and surprisingly much cleaner than any other major city's. 11 May 2017. #igersbucharest #igersromania #igerseurope #igbucharest #igeurope #igromania #easterneurope #everydayromania #everydayeasterneurope #streetphotography #this_is_bucharest #visitromania #romaniamagica #ceausescu #bucharestmyhome #bucuresti #bucharest #romania #metro #subway #piataromana #romana #romaniangirl

-->2017 Romanian Orthodox Easter Photo Workshop. Join me in the Maramures region of northern Romania 13-19 April 2017 for a week of enchantment in one of the most traditional villages left in Europe. For decades Romania’s closed border policy under the dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu as well as a natural fortress of mountains kept Maramures isolated from the rest of Europe. Even after the fall of Communism change was slow to enter the region. The area is renowned for the strength of its traditions, folk costumes, idyllic landscape and is considered the heart of Romanian culture. Come savor this rural life before it vanishes forever! Davin is offering a six day documentary photography workshop based in the village of Valeni where he lived for a year with a family and fell under Romania's dark spell. Maramures is where Davin found his photographic voice. In his fifth workshop in the village, he will be sharing his passion for Romania with students. Davin will be working closely with workshop participants and providing daily critiques and group discussions. We will begin with a review of participants' past work. The goal of this workshop is to learn to create strong personal photographs about Orthodox Easter and peasant life. We will shoot during the day and edit in the evenings. Technical, theoretical and aesthetic issues will be discussed as attendees work towards honing their individual visions. Everyone will enjoy great access to the Easter holiday celebrations which occur over three days. Homestays will allow for an immersive experience with local villagers and the opportunity to sample distinctive traditional Romanian food and 110 proof homemade plum brandy. It will be an opportunity to witness the last peasants in Europe living life as they have for millennia albeit with a few aspects of modern life mixed in! The six days promise to be an intense, intimate and unforgettable experience where students will get to know the villagers first hand and live a romantic way of life forgotten in the rest of Europe more than a century ago.
