Ralph Gibson Monochrome – 100% SOLD OUT at $28,000 each!That was FAST.

A poor man's road to LeicaBy Westerhuis & WesterhuisAs our name ‘Westerhuis&Westerhuis' already suggests: we are brothers. Willem Hendrik and Arend-Jan. It would be safe to say that we grew up with photography. Our father had a Leicaflex SL with a range of lenses. Back when we were kids, going out with the family meant that we would both get ‘one frame' to shoot with the camera.
