Farewell,
My Transylvania
by Ella Veres |
| Author's Links |
| In
May 2000 I went back to my homeland in Transylvania, Romania and I wanted
to write something, combining text with photography, but I knew that Americans
here wanted to hear about cultural differences. From experience I knew that
the American people were eager to hear about Dracula, Ceausescu, and other
sad stories that we are famous for. Though I acknowledge Transylvania's
troubled history, I wanted to move beyond the stereotype of my homeland
as a drab diorama of powerless victims. My pictures and prose also hint
at the resilience and humor of the Romanian people, and some of the absurdities
of day-to-day life. Behind each photo there is a story that you can read
at: www.geocities.com/mytransylvania.
