Some photographs are more important than others. Preserved memories of people you love and friends you have lost, places that shaped your understanding of the world and events that had a significant impact on your life. romka magazine is devoted to this one print that you keep in your wallet, on the desk at work or on your fridge door. Pictures of great sentimental value that gain their quality through the personal experiences they are connected to and not through form or content. It is not about your best pictures, but about your personal favorites.
In this issue of romka magazine, 69 professionals and amateurs from 33 countries share their photographic treasures and tell the stories behind them. For the first time, there are two special features as well: an illustrated short story by American author Paul Kwiatkowski and a collection of found photographs by London-based artist Steven Chandler. This issue's heartwarming cover shot comes from Russian portrait photographer Evgeny Lebedev.
