Description beginning of May 2006, Saint Petersbourg, Russia.

she asked me why i'm photographing this horror... well, that's a good question... actually, i never photograph horror things, there's nothing attractive in ugliness for me. Yes, it's a place of hopelessness, yet there's a beauty within... and that's what attracts...

ps She perhaps wasn't aware of how she, herself, makes the image so beautiful.

Really well composed. I like how you've waited for her to almost disappear into the second arch, and how the first arch provides such a solid and imposing (and impersonal) frame.

In literature , we have a thing , aproximately translated as "The esthetics of uglyness" . I believe it's something similar .
This photo , has a message , it makes you think , and this is a beautifull thing .
