Photography Exhibition : On Line

Brunel Revisited : David White

150 years ago a young photographer called Robert Howlett died. Howlett is remembered for taking iconic images of the great Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Brunel's engineering masterpieces. Photojournalist David White recently set out to recreate Howlett's photographs, using cameras and chemicals similar to those used by Howlett himself.

There's an on line slideshow here and on David's website. Fantastic.


On a somewhat related topic. I get many emails asking for the best Black & White digital-conversion techniques. I'll be posting my thoughts on this soon.
