This is a long-term project of mine began in 2002. After growing up seeing the work that photographer Anthony Suau was doing in Romania in the early 1990s, I became obsessed with the country. It amazed me that traditional rural folk culture was still alive and well in Europe. I ended up becoming so transfixed by the beautiful way of life tied to the land that I lived with a peasant family for a whole year and have continued to go back over the years. There was also some nostalgia involved, knowing that this magical region was not going to last forever and I wanted to preserve in pictures a way of life that had been forgotten in the rest of Europe a century or more ago. Changes have finally begun to occur and are picking up speed now that Romania is a member of the European Union. I have begun a new color project focusing on the youth who have been leaving the villages to work itinerant jobs mainly in Italy and Spain–they simply are not going to carry on their parents’ old traditions. I am now based between the US and Bucharest.
