Original artwork description:

It was my intention to capture and preserve the essence and unique qualities of a city that is quickly disappearing by the forces of progress as it generic-trifies. Old architecture often coupled with graffiti, grime, and a European sensibility, has set the stage for many movies and romantic dreams in the best city in the world. I’ve indicated the date the image was created (on-site), the location, and often the outdoor temperature of the session in an effort to remember the feeling of the experience. Some places still exist, while others are on the verge of disappearing, and many others are just memories now. For more work and possibly better prices, visit www dot KovalFineArt dot com
