HONORED WORK: “Romania’s Lost Boys”
Ettore Malanca captured the plight of the homeless boys of Bucharest in a series of Ч gripping images of their squalid life in and around North Station. Most were runaways from violence or poverty at home or from state-run institutions that survived the collapse of communism. When they viewed the gritty black-and-white photographs, the judges said, they felt as if they were on the street with the boys.
