Romania 1984-1986 seen from U.S. Embassy

The photographer worked at the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest between 1984-1986 and as anyone would have done in his place has took photographs. They are personal images photographed in the capital, but also at the country roads, images in the current context, considering the socio-political developments from 1984 to the present, are important documents.

    I am an American who lived in Bucharest during this period – 1986-88. Curious as to who this photographer is. I remember well these scenes, support flight, etc.
