GERMANY / Jüterborg / 2008. Abandoned Soviet military base after the collapse of the USSR. Portraits of Politburo members lined the walls in this room. Slogan reads: "Maxism-leninism is the banner of present age". Some 40,000 to 70,000 Soviet military personnel were stationed with their families in and around Jüterborg.
Eric Lusito - Traces of the Soviet Empire
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/p8ug
These haunting photographs show the remnants of the once all-powerful Soviet empire.
They are the work of Eric Lusito, who spent six years travelling throughout the former Soviet world from East Germany to Mongolia, from Poland to Kazakhstan to seek out remains of the military installations that embodied the ambition and the might of the USSR.
Describing himself as working like an archaeologist, the French photographer says his project "Traces of the Soviet Empire" is a photographic record of the land and architecture - haunted by the symbols and history of a once powerful Empire.
The on-going project takes the form of three series: exteriors, interiors, and found photographs "images from another time, another space and another world".
What he found was colourful propaganda wall art, faded frescos of Lenin, discarded gas masks, and huge monuments, including those in the shapes of a soldier and a sword.

Raising a Family Behind Bars: Inmates Families Move Into Prison After Typhoon Haiyan
A New York-based photographer journeyed to the Philippines to meet families who were forced to relocate to prison after Typhoon Yolanda left them homeless.
Lawrence Sumulong went to the Leyte Provincial Jail in April this year, to document the unusual situation where a large number of displaced families have been forced to move in with their incarcerated relatives.
At the Leyte Provincial Jail, women and children walk freely among inmates.
While most inmates claim to be serving time for petty crimes such as theft or drug trafficking, their photo releases reveal many more are actually serving time for more serious crimes.
Lawrence shot the moving series in one day, and assembled the photos in a moving photo series titled Raising a Family Behind Bars.
Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) cut across nine regions in the central Philippines on November 8, 2013, leaving behind a wide swath of destruction.
The storm was a category five, with wind gusts up to 235 miles per hour, causing massive landslides and flooding.
Over 14 million people were affected, including five million who saw their homes damaged or destroyed, while over 6000 people lost their lives.
Lawrence wanted to investigate what had happened to the people who were left with nothing after the typhoon, and in particular those who had no choice but to take refuge in prison.
"My assignment was to verify whether families of the inmates were continuing to live inside the destroyed jail, which was a story that journalist, Aya Lowe had originally broken.
"Leading up to my trip, there was news that access to the jail was restricted and the families had long since relocated."
Lawrence, who currently works as a photo editor at Jazz in the Lincoln Centre, explains: ...

Toyah Willcox at her home in Pershore, Worcestershire, Britain - 06 Jun 2011

Toyah Willcox: An Unusual Home For A Punk Princess
Considering their backgrounds former punk Toyah Willcox and her guitar hero husband's home isn't what you would expect.
For Toyah and her husband Robert Fripp, who have been married for 25 years, live in genteel splendour in a Georgian-fronted townhouse in Pershore, Worcestershire.
Back in the 80s Toyah, now 53, was a loud and proud punk - all pink spiky hair and orange lipstick.
As well as starring in such films as 'Quadrophenia', she was also a regular in the Top 10 with songs such as 'It's A Mystery' and 'I Want To Be Free'.
Meanwhile, Robert, 65, was named the 42nd best guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone magazine and has contributed to more than 1,100 releases.
However, a glance around the refined surroundings of their drawing room and you would never guess at these wild pasts.
The couple, who have invested heavily in property over the years, first saw their current home in 2001 while cruising down the Avon River.
They spotted the 'for sale' sign at the bottom of the garden while enjoying a river cruise on a boat owned by Toyah's father.
Once they returned home curiosity prompted them to call the estate agent and arrange a viewing, just to be nosy.
The minute they stepped inside the elegant five-storey townhouse knew they simply had to have it.
But it couldn't have come at a worse time as the couple had just recently bought a different property.
However, knowing that Toyah had fallen in love with the Pershore house, and without telling her, Robert arranged a 100% loan and brought it.
Today, the house drips with antiques and refined d (FOTO:DUKAS/REX)

Despite the rock 'n' roll property being only being 12 miles from central London, Jo, 53, is keen to move to town following the official end of her 24-year marriage to Ronnie Wood. Famously, the Rolling Stone guitarist brought their two-and-a-half-decades together to an end when he started a fling with an 18-year-old waitress. That relationship may not have lasted but there is certainly not going back for Ronnie and Jo, who has keenly embraced the single life. In a bid to move on she has put the former family home, which over the years has been host to a number of lavish parties, up for sale.

Pensioner prison, Onomichi, Japan - 20 May 2008

Elderly prisoners at work in the work room, Onomichi prison., As the Japanese society rapidly ages, the country is now having to deal with a sharp rise in the number of criminals from the pensioner age group. Over 65's now count for the fastest growing age group of inmates.
The Crisis Of Japan's Ageing Prison Population
THE CRISIS OF JAPAN'S AGEING PRISON POPULATION
At a rate much higher than any other developed nation, Japan's over-60s are becoming the fastest-growing criminal age group in the country. The number of over-70s alone charged with criminal offences has trebled within the last 8 years from approximately 10,000 to 30,000. Last year the ratio of elderly offenders to younger offenders was 1:6 compared to 1:24 a decade before.
The most common crimes by the elderly tend to be petty offences like theft and shoplifting, but there were also 150 reported convictions for murder. Such is the dramatic increase in the percentage of elderly prisoners (currently 12% of the total prison population), Japan has been forced to invest billions of yen to construct 3 new prison wards to house over 1,000 inmates.
The causes behind this phenomenon are not simple to explain away. The obvious roots lie in Japan's rapidly ageing population, in which the demographic of the typical 'population triangle', which comprises of a large base of young people and small pinnacle of the elderly, is starting to invert, meaning that the number of Japanese over the age of 60 is increasing at a greater rate than usual in comparison to the increase rate in the number of under 30s.
However, this does not explain away the fact that while the number of Japanese aged 60 and over grew by 17% between 2000 and 2006, the number of prisoners in the same age bracket soared by 87%. Criminologists blame record levels of poverty among pension...

At a rate much higher than any other developed nation, Japan's over-60s are becoming the fastest-growing criminal age group in the country. The number of over-70s alone charged with criminal offences has trebled within the last 8 years from approximately 10,000 to 30,000. Last year the ratio of elderly offenders to younger offenders was 1:6 compared to 1:24 a decade before.
The most common crimes by the elderly tend to be petty offences like theft and shoplifting, but there were also 150 reported convictions for murder. Such is the dramatic increase in the percentage of elderly prisoners (currently 12% of the total prison population), Japan has been forced to invest billions of yen to construct 3 new prison wards to house over 1,000 inmates.
The causes behind this phenomenon are not simple to explain away. The obvious roots lie in Japan's rapidly ageing population, in which the demographic of the typical 'population triangle', which comprises of a large base of young people and small pinnacle of the elderly, is starting to invert, meaning that the number of Japanese over the age of 60 is increasing at a greater rate than usual in comparison to the increase rate in the number of under 30s.
However, this does not explain away the fact that while the number of Japanese aged 60 and over grew by 17% between 2000 and 2006...
