Gazes and Faces:

Romanian Portraits by Adrian Cherciu

in romanianculturalcentre.org.

For one week in October 2010, Adrian Cherciu, a keen photographer and founder of the Romanian community portal ROMANi ONLiNE, has wandered across Romania with English photographer Mike Sweeney in tow, in search for the “ineffable Romanian spirit”. They have found some of that spirit distilled in more than one location along the more than 1,700 kilometres route through the country, but the real essence of the places could be best read in the faces of the people they encountered.
