This week I’d like to introduce you to Eric Thalmann, hailing from Switzerland, the land of great chocolate and knives.

Title: Modern Rails
Description: I never paid attention to railroad tracks until I had a camera in hand. Modern rails are made of concrete – yet they still have the beauty of the wooden rails of yesterday.

The type of places you see along the road to your favorite campsite, be it state, federal, private or other. It’s usually a little shed with a sign out [...]
Title: Waiting
Description: Market East Station, Philadelphia, resides on the grounds of the historic Reading Terminal. This station serves as a hub for all inner city public transport, and it sits below the Philadelphia Convention Center. Yet the thousands of people that travel on these rails each day neglect to realize the [...]
