GRD II in Serbia

I love the old phone in the first shot. That whole picture really captures this man's working environment in a way that tells a story. The photo of the locker with the retro "naughty" playing cards on it is an interesting composition - really nice textures on the door itself, too. It's hard for me to see past the Ratko Mladic fan's enthusiasm for his thuggish hero, so I'll just say his hair looks sharp.

These are great !!!! Thanks for sharing ...

Hey studio67.
Very nice pictures - it seemed to be a good trip?
I don't know if you are into it - but I would like to see theese shots in B/W.
What do you say? I think they deserves it.

Best wishes.

Thanks for sharing. From the perspective of documentairy photography these are excellent photographs. And I agree with Ellemand that these photos would be great in B&W too.

Wouters and Ellemand have a good idea, these are strong images, B&W would give them more impact.
IMHO, that is

Ya nice shots.. did you PP (post process)?
The colors seem nice and vibrant..

Fantastic photos! I like them in color. IMO, you would lose something in B&W with most of them.

If I were going to do anything, I might bring down either the vibrance or saturation of the colors a wee bit, but that's just my personal preference.

PS: I love that phone, too.

thanks,

i have photographed a lot with B&W films before with Tri-X, russian films,
T-max and developed my own films and photo's in my darkroom with short times and warm water to get more a explosive noise.. now with the digital darkrooms i prefer to work in color. B&W brings sometimes more emotions to the upper-layer from the scene. For me working with color is more searching for 2 layers, it's the emotional and the environment one..
sometimes the colors give me a kind of smell to the pictures...

I like to work in a way that i will choose before if i will make the pictures in B&W or color.

I like these in color. My favorite is the second one of the locker with the cards. I like the angle you chose a lot. Enjoy your new camera!
