“Esquire”
This gentleman runs the Esquire bookshop in Hamra, Beirut. An oddity is the FHM to the right. Adult magazines are in fact sold but only covered in a black plastic burka like sleeve. FHM is apparently tame enough to be able to parade around without one.

“Focus: Untitled in Kragujevac”
Kragujevac is an industrial city in Central Serbia. A former powerhouse of the Socialist economy, today it dwindles slowly in rust and grime, a shadow of its former past.
It’s not easy to forget when the city provides so many chances to dwell on the times gone.
A rumbling Yugo, a relic of the manufacturing powerhouse city, trundles past an old mural extolling the virtues of the good Socialist rural life.
The future creeps in around the corners, capitalism charging in discreetly, fluttering Armani banners.
“Byzantium”
A Greek Orthodox monk on the island of Hydra, preserves the living heritage of the Byzantine culture in the Orthodox rite.
