Life keeps evolving. People move from one place to another looking for more modern places that will house their needs. The buildings of the past remain empty, standing alone, narrating their stories to anyone who has the time or the mood to listen to them. Each building a different story, yet the same as the final reslult remains the same. Places not serving any purpose any more, left alone to remind people of a different era when things were different from what they are now, to contribute to our knowledge of the past.
Image requirements: RGB, JPG Format, 1.000 pixels (the longest side) on 72 dpi. The photographers who are selected into the exhibition will provide a high resolution Tiff or JPEG file for the gallery to print.
