Hamburg with the Monochrom
By Dan Bar
Hi Steve
Just got back from Hamburg Germany, nice city with terrible winter weather.

South in Black and White
By David Mello
Hey guys! I've never shared my work before, but I've loved following your site, so though this might be a good time to start.

I've always loved searching out history, but I've had to learn to see differently down here. History moves *slower* here, blending into the everyday in a way that is at first elusive, but ultimately quite beautiful. Structures...
