After years of brutal communism that completely closed it off from the outside world, only a few rooms were available to visitors in the entire country.⁠ ⁠ After crossing a very surreal border post (with a very corrupt guard) in an old camper van, we reached Korce, where we stayed in the only hotel in town, a 12-storey building with only four rooms available on the eighth floor. The elevator was not working.⁠ ⁠ Later in the trip, when visiting Durres we stayed in a private room together with a retired general who could not stop talking about the glory days of Albanian communism when it withstood all pressure from the outside world.⁠ ⁠ Looking out of my window I could see a monument to the WWII resistance movement with children playing on top of it. I could not resist going over there.⁠ ⁠ In 2011, I revisited the Albanian coast. The whole area is now full of new hotels, terraces and bars.” – @carldekeyzer⁠ .⁠ Solidarity, the July Magnum Square Print Sale, in support of the @naacp and in collaboration with @voguemagazine, is live for 1 week only!⁠ .⁠ This is a unique opportunity to purchase signed or estate-stamped prints by over 100 of the world’s leading photographic artists in an exclusive 6x6” format for $100.⁠ .⁠ Magnum photographers and Vogue are both donating 50% of their proceeds to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (@naacp), the longest-running, and largest civil rights organization in the United States.⁠ .⁠ The NAACP’s mission is to eliminate race-based discrimination and uphold equality of rights of all persons.⁠ .⁠ Visit the link in bio to see all the images available.⁠ .⁠ PHOTO: Monument to the WWII resistance movement.
