This is the place where you meet unexpected people.
And expected ones.
Like a fly to honey we are drawn to it. Here, in the indistinct murmour of voices one finds a unique peace.

Have always loved these photos. Even i can related to them cause of my podar days. Of course, podar was way cooler than ruia! I guess it still is... I'm sure there's more deflowering in podar fyjc and syjc than in ten whole batches of ruia! hehehehhehehehe shit that made me so sad that i wasn't party to any.... :-(
These photos are fantastic! I love the way you've used the lighting, and the B&W works well where you've used it.
This series of photographs makes me think of observing all of the people without being seen. You've captured the shots of people without them acknowledging your camera and that is often a challenge when photographing people!
Have a wonderful day!
