A bit strange for a RetRome blogpost, but this project has to be forwarded: befriended Dutch photographer Jeroen Swolfs is doing the once-in-lifetime adventure: a dazzling trip to all (all? yes, ALL) 194 capitals of the world in 5 years. His objective is to capture differences and resemblances around the globe. This giga project will result in a fantastic book with one image of every capital. In his first year, Swolfs has covered a big piece of Asia and Oceania.
His adventures can be followed through Twitter, Facebook and his own website Streets of the World. On the website you will find pictures of the countries he has visited so far, and also some short movie impressions of his working conditions. It is probably hardly worth mentioning, but Jeroen has chosen Rome as home base for his last leg: Europe. However, this will not be for another three years!
