October 18, 2010Great collection of pics – I used to walk passed that wall in Belfast everyday going to college =D Good Times.
I just LOVE the first one, the one of the Louvre, the lighting is just STUNNING!
Ben Crawford says:
October 19, 2010Thanks Laura. I loved Belfast. The black cab trip was amazing. The image of the Louvre is one of my favourites. I took it around midnight – the only time I could get it with no people!

October 19, 2010Hey Sarah. I love Italy, though only got to Rome and skiing in Alagna. It’s one of my fav photos too!
paul says:
October 18, 2010Wow, these are absolutely stunning… The “Icelandic Horses” shot in particular is phenomenal. There’s something about those folks who are ‘self-taught’ that has a unique and truly special quality — it’s hard to describe and put in words. Looks like Ben got the photography genes!
Nik, the new design looks great and really works well, great post man ;-)
Ben Crawford says:
October 19, 2010Thanks Paul, appreciate your feedback. I sat on my back for ages to get that horse photo. Lucky I got the photo genes cos my drawing is horrible! I agree with you too, Nik’s new design looks great.

Ben Crawford says:
October 19, 2010Hi Grigorij. Wow, Peter Jackson magic, that’s an amazing compliment. Thank you! I’d love to visit Serbia too. So many places I want to see and photograph! I’ve made it to Croatia, Slovakia and Romania but never to Serbia. Soon hopefully!

October 19, 2010Amazing collection. Love the one called Shutter Details.
Ben Crawford says:
October 21, 2010Thanks Jodi. The portait orientated images look a little distorted in the post as they have been stretched unfortunately beyond 100% of their dimensions. Would love to go back to France and take more like this!
