Abandoned stories

I travel to different countries in Europe to find abandoned old houses that still maintain the spirit of the people that once lived in them. There are often clues to be found about the former inhabitants, but the whole story and the reason of their departure remain open to interpretation. Rather than going for the spectacular wide angle shots, I try to focus on the intimacy of these places. I prefer it that way. A lot of these houses are timecapsules of a time many decades ago. One day they will be gone and replaced by other houses, but in the meantime we bear witness to these past lives while nature slowly reclaims their homes. I photograph with digital and analog cameras.
