Welding? - shit. I fancied Art School at a certain stage - we have a very good one here in Glasgow - but I can't draw. Basic handicap for your foundation year. cheers - I

@Floid_Maniac - beautiful. Square pictures - you forget about square pictures. Just as natural as the dominant 35mm ratio? I never took to T-Max B&W properly - it was a pain to process accurately, finicky and a bit hissy - apart from the 3200 ASA version. God's gift to available light photographers. Thanks for reminding me about D76. Extremely fine grain when you got it right. A pig to mix up. Dry powder. I remember dunking big sheets of film into deep tanks of it years ago as a lowly studio assistant. cheers - I

Wonderful picture. For some reason reminds me of the numerous pickpockets on La Rambla in Barcelona.

Inspired by @Blademonkey - a picture of my home environment. No where near as beautiful as yours. Nikon D2, 300mm 2.8 and a 1.4 or 2 x converter. January, looking north. I.

Although I've never been to your part of the world I'm sure it is full of beauty and that's a great picture

Pickpockets - yes - somebody tried to dip me on the underground in Barcelona - in fairness it was San Jordi and I was on the metro. It was rammed. I caught him. The best way to avoid getting robbed on the Ramblas is not to be the most obvious target. I've been held up and robbed at gun point before - but that's different. I.

Love that image in the style of minimalism. Great arangement and reduction in detail, also all colours match fine with each other. Well done I.

Wow! Nifty looking place. I'm always ready to try new cities at the drop of a recommendation or interesting blog. if you don't mind me asking - where is it and is it a good place to live?

Good for you. You were a lucky fellow on that one. You are right about not sticking out in a crowd/
Once was stopped for directions by a guy holding a map in a nice BCN neighborhood. The nebbish looking guy looked lost and I launched into best good Samaritan "how to get there from here" dialog. Suddenly a second person comes up to us, whips out a detective badge, and states it illegal to exchange money in Barcelona and wants to see my passport. Feeling more than a little duped and being much taller than both I started aggressively and incoherently gesturing, at which time the "detective" takes off running and the lost tourist gives his best "what, me worry" look and wanders off. Later found out that this scenario happens all too frequency in Barcelona.
My sister once had her most valuable possession robbed in Madrid - a bag containing all her makeup. Costed my brother-in-law a small fortune to immediately replace. Life's a bitch.
