Guess what’s behind this portal.

This is the main entrance to the machinery hall of a mining company. The mine was operated from 1899 to 1955. Now, it’s a mining museum and keeps the memory to the operation years alive. They display machines, typical clothing, tools, security and heath facilities as well as habits around mining in the Ruhr area.

More of my images can be seen at my own blog.

Guest Post – Garreth O’Brien

Black And White Photography, Garreth, Photography

Garreth is a unique individual because unlike all of the other photographers on this site he uses only a Huawei mobile phone. I hope you enjoy his work, I know I sure do.

My name is Garreth O’Brien. At 37 yrs. young I’m a proud married father to 4 sons. I’m a Republic of Ireland based mobilephone/smartphone photographer. O’Briens, is a photography page that I run and post image’s that catch my eye.  The image’s are varied from planned shoots to hip street shots. I roughly started mobile photography  back in 2011….

Views & opinions are divided when it comes to smartphone photography. I say it’s not the equipment but the artist. Black & White / Monochrome image’s speak to us more than that of a colour photo, with the simple tones that are Black & White, less is more.
