Zaharia Cusnir: Photos from Communist-era Moldova

[David A. Goldfarb]

Vernacular photos found in an attic. Made with a Lubitel-2. “Lubitel” means “amateur,” and the camera was produced to encourage amateur photography in the Soviet Union and Soviet bloc countries.

Terrific. Reminds me a lot of August Sander in the directness of the straight on posing and natural environment.

These are brilliant! And to think, they were almost lost forever. Classic b&w work from a master.

We adopted a son from Moldova. He is grown and looks very much like some of the subjects in the photos. Thanks for sharing.

Some great photos I wonder if someone is going to find memory cards or an old laptop/iphone in some rubble in say 40 years time from which photos can be obtained? Seems unlikely to me.
