One of the things I really like about this series of photos by Luka is the almost Arcadian quality of the lives he is depicting. This shot demonstrates it very well: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoneki/3973084804/in/photostream/> The background landscape, its softness, the framing with the grapevine and the unobtrusiveness of the camera make it feel to me as if we have a privileged view on an updated version of a Poussin painting or something similar. They also remind me of visiting the countryside of Romania and the Carpathian Mountains in autumn with its lush fruitfulness, and meeting some of the people who lived there. It's a real privilege to see these photos, in my opinion.
