Travel stories and B&W street photography of people from more than 50 cities (and growing!) in four continents. A tribute to film photography by an author who is a collector and user of classic cameras, and practitioner of traditional darkroom techniques. His playground is the Studio Ratatouille formerly in Baltimore, Maryland, and now in Prescott, Arizona. His literary, painting and photography blogs, have been read more than 120, 000 times from around the world.

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
The Falls are magnificent, but the best pictures are aerial ones and in color. So, here are two from the streets of the village next to the falls.
The first could have been taken in the 1920s! The warthog seems to wait for the train that does not come; and the woman decided to walk along the rail lines having given up on the train. The Baobab tree is typical to the region.
The second photo is from the entrance to the Falls. I saw the soldier camouflaging himself to watch the blond tourists. The texture of the picture enhances the mood of the moment.
Taken with a Canon rangefinder Model L3 and a Serenar 50mm 1.9, 1948 lens.
