The Lost Boys
LOST BOYS is an on-going project for which I document
the lives of a group of 3 to 8 boys that live on the streets of
Bucharest.
These kids are the leftovers from a recovering country that was ruled
by Nicolae Ceaucescu until 1989, when he and his wife were sentenced to
death, and communism fell for good. These boys are referred to as the
3rd generation that remains living on the streets and in the tunnels.
They form their own communities and bond new families. Although life is
tough, for most of these kids, it seems to be all they want:
