Hello, my name is Konti a photographer based in Dunaújváros, Hungary. The town, which was established in the heart of Hungary in the middle of the 20th Century, used to be called Stalin town and since 1961 it’s been called Dunaujvaros. Here, in the forest right next to the steel works, there is an exhibition of machines typical of the steel processing and steel production plants of the 1950’s.

If you like it, don't miss the gallery over at Ships Nostalgia about English shipwrights William Doxford and Sons. It's chockablock with absolutely gorgeous, amazing photographs of giant men building giant machines with giant tools.
