Ran across a great series of photographs by Manuel Capurso called From Akmola to Astana, which documents Astana capturing both the old and the new.

It’s an interesting set. Anyone who has lived in Astana for some time will have noticed the sharp contrasts between the two cities and the surrealism of new modern buildings being constructed in the middle of the steppe. He’s captured a lot of that as well as some faces of Astana.

I have no idea if the pictures are being exhibited anywhere but there are a few on his site and more on Capurso’s blog.
