Persons Odessa - about the city with a human face :) Bashny.Net

A few days ago found a very interesting project about the inhabitants of Odessa. Read the two young photographer. Incognito. Photo though not without Photoshop, but very cool.

Here is what they write:
Every day we put out a portrait of one person. A portrait of a resident of Odessa, whom we meet on the streets of our hometown. This person can be you or someone you know.

The project "Faces of Odessa" was conceived more as a challenge to their own winter apathy, the desire to create something new, something that has not been in our glorious city of Odessa.

We have long wanted to show that magical air Odessa, he inspires and inspires. And the people of Odessa are slightly different from the inhabitants of other cities. They smile more, are more open to dialogue and love their city. And we are no exception. And we show our love for the city with the help of the project "Faces of Odessa».

Who are we? Two simple odessite who have a camera and a desire to shoot. Their names, we decided not to call. Take a look at the portraits of Odessa and visitors to the city as if you met them outside and communicate with them as we do it. But our names do not matter.

Maybe we come to you on the streets and offer to take off for our project, and maybe once again going to visit us, you will see their friends.

Crowds he collects

And we all soul delights

His acute and virtuoso playing.

Anatoly Tolia. Twenty-seven. He recently knocked 28 and 83 th year has gone. All my life I lived in Odessa, on Soborke. Poet. And can recite all of Omar Khayyam. In the 82 years he's young at heart. And we met him surrounded by a vast number of friends who are shaken out with our whole soul, until we were able to interview the Shred.

What is most interesting, all his friends are almost twice his age. And they take care of it and protect it. We got a huge mass of positive emotions, communicating with a bit, and if you want to get a piece of the same emotions, look at the Shred Soborke, the bar "Seven Winds". Just take care of it.
