I second that about both of you Denise and Gregg.


And nice B&W, Brian, the zeiss fan club grows.

Nice work guys, I especially like your tram Gregg. I like the Railroad museum too, there's something unique about photographing kids from behind, this perspective sort of puts you in their world allowing you to experience their moment with them. A great memory shot thekingb.

Thanks everyone! I

Thus far, the hardest photo to take/edit is Black &amp; White as there are simply so many iterations that can be applied, but if done right, could make an *ugly duckling* truly beautiful.


Here are a few from our trip to Italy...
