Bee Flowers' Russia
"The Moscow apartment of a 70 year old woman of rural descent. She was never married, a situation she deplores and blames on a slight limp, which made her unattractive to prospective husbands."
...
"The final place of residence of a widower of 15 years. He was a retired army officer and a highly decorated hero of the Great Patriotic War. He fought at the front, and conducted operations behind enemy lines.
These photographs were taken a fortnight after his death."
...
Stark, poignant Dacha galleries 1 and 2. Soviet hotels in provincial towns. I really like Bee Flowers' obsessive Russia photos. Food; Moscow - Metaphors. Full index.
(Via today's Johnson's Russia List.)
