russian orphans



I stumbled across these photos a while ago when it was a blazing hot beach day, summer in full glory. They didn't really feel timely. But now with Autumn upon us, Halloween only a few weeks away, they seemed perfectly suited.

I honestly know very little about these. Apparently, there are old houses, deep within the forests of Russia, that sit, undisturbed, some with furnishing still intact.

Sort of a Hansel and Gretel visit Grey Gardens feel. Photographer Andrew Qzmn, went to the town of Chukholma {which I'm pretty sure is Russian for "Oklahoma" } 300 miles northeast of Moscow to photograph these old abandoned, homes elaborately ornate in the Terem influenced style.
