Last year I received several pieces of hate mail from Polish nationalists, reacting to my Poland galleries--they accused me of deliberately showing Poland in a bad light because my pictures are not pretty postcards, and of being part of Jewish conspiracy to damage the country. I was actually pretty pleased to get such strong reactions; the idiotic content I just laughed off. Kyle's Romania gallery is an awesome piece of writing and photography, to which I return time and again.
