On a more serious note, I did manage to finally make my way to The Photographers Gallery in Ramillies Street, where I saw the exhibition of work by a Hungarian born artist Tamas Dezso, who captures post communism era in countries like Hungary and Romania. I clearly remember his work being featured in British Journal of Photography a few months ago, as they stunned me with their clear honesty and an unquestionable beauty. Although the main element of his photographs are poverty and struggle, I can't help but to see them as very poignant and melancholic, almost attempting to seek the beauty amongst the constantly deteriorating landscape and its inhabitants. Examples of his work below.
