    Fun stuff Richard! I like the juxta' of decay and technology in #1, and the peek around the corner in #3.
    I like to shoot flea markets (swap meet here) too... they're a target-rich environment!

    If it's authentic, one wonders how a Route 66 sign
    made it's way to Spain.

    Almost certainly a knock-off, I'd guess. The closest thing to genuine would be if a Spanish tourist in the US bought it in a souvenir shop there, but even that's a stretch.

    I like 1 for the conversion and 3 for the reflection amidst the clutter

    Both very engaging

    Nice work Richard

    Good stuff, Richard. thumb.gif I think your B&W conversion work is exceptionally good. I like the strong blacks and heightened contrast ....both typical to your work and amongst your strong suits.

    Take care,

    Thanks Rags and Tom. I also have some color reflection shots from that outing that I'll probably post in a few days. And yeah, I do like to emphasize the blacks in monochrome. Seems more dramatic that way. thumb.gif
