Bailout
The mood was somber for street photography during the few weeks surrounding the bailout in Athens, Greece in 2012. Austerity measures contributed to unemployment and spiraling debt, which were only a few of the issues facing the country in the days leading up to the March 8th bailout deadline. The pressure dissipated somewhat when creditors accepted the terms of the bailout. Visual signs of economic stress persisted throughout the center of the city.
