Artist Statement:
In my work I photograph people
who have a deep felt sense of
tradition. For a year of days
beginning in the Autumn of
1999, I lived in a remote
village in the Maramuresh
region of northern
Transylvania, Romania. This
area came to my attention
through my love of Balkan Folk
Dancing. My research revealed
the Maramuresh region to be
unique amongst the former
Soviet Bloc for the way it had
preserved its way of life.
After World War II, for forty
years of communist rule, a few
valleys in Maramuresh escaped
collectivized farming because
of poor soil and hilly
landscape. In the post
cold-war period, preservation
continues because of pervasive
impoverishment which slows the
advancement of modernity into
the reaches of northern
Transylvania.

But nothing will stand still
forever. While the older
generation still don winter
footwear that pre-date the
Romans, the younger generation
flock to market to buy shoes
bearing that ubiquitous swoosh
of western manufacture.

My purpose is to capture and
convey images of their way of
life before it becomes further
compromised by globalization.
In our modern world, we often
feel we have “lost” something
important, something precious.
Though they do not know it ...
