2007, Lodz, Poland, old Izrael Poznanski’s textile factory workers’ estate, part of a factory complex at Ogrodowa Street. Factory was shut down about 15 years ago, and for the last two years it has been a cultural and shopping centre (Manufaktura), but the old houses for the workers found themselves out of the development. Low quality not renovated blockhouses are kind of soul cages for the former factory workers. At least the scenery is worth visiting and taking some photos. There was a plan to give people new apartments and turn the old red brick blocks into very exclusive hotel, but then that part of the city would lost its character forever.
Camera: Samsung GX 10 with kit lenses (Schneider Kreuznach).
heh, not only you appreciate those old building :) I hope they could play important role in development of Lodz (cinematography etc.)
