Vanishing Malta I

Leave a comment

Vanishing Malta started as a project in pre-covid times.   It aims to capture once vibrant but now abandoned, sad and forlorn old buildings in Valetta/Sliema.   Some of these once fine buildings, both business and residential types, have been demolished or await demolition.  The context is an extended building boom.  These buildings are photographed in colour using a 35mm digital camera.
