I've been thinking about places I would really like to visit, and Ukraine is one of them. Specifically, I am fascinated by Pripyat. The region was evacuated in the 1980's after a massive radioactive contamination occured, due to a malfuntion at a nuclear power plant in Chernobyl.
The city used to house approximately 50,000 people. Now, it's completely abandoned. It's a total ghost town.
I'm absolutely fascinated by this place. To many, it is a place that we associate with disaster and abandonment. To few, it is a place of beauty, full of artistic potential.
I would love to photograph Pripyat, as have several others, like Robert Polidori.
One day, I'll get out there, seeing this place that absolutely fascinates me. I can't wait for that day to come.
