Touching photos. The absence of people made these photos even more alarming and somehow disturbing? It's hard to say I like them, because it's impossible to connect the words "like" and "Auschwitz" in one sentence. But you did a very good job with capturing the atmosphere of this sad place. Thanks for sharing them!

Genster,
I echo Pavel's words, he put it very well, plus I can add that I think your images are very professionally presented, the composition, sharpness and detail is excellent. Its remarkable what detail you get out of such a small camera. I feel slightly jealous that either your technique is better than mine (most likely explanation) or your camera lens is more aligned and yields sharper images than my GRD III.
The interior images are very well balanced for lighting. You must tell us your Post Process secrets sometime?!
Great work. I am honestly impressed. :geek:

Hi Genster,
it is hard to find a 'new take' on such a familiar topic...but I really like the way your images take one through the camp as if for the first time...I too find the emptiness disturbing; a silence that could, I fear, never be comfortable.
I read recently that the 'Arbeit macht frei' sign had been recovered after it's theft and that a replica now stands above the gate; how is it that human nature drives us to continue to do such senseless things?
I have never been there, but my Dad visited the camp some years before he died and was shaken to find the number of one of his military colleagues scratched on the wall of one of the solitary cells there, he having spent several years behind the electrified wire some 30km down the road.
It is hard to know what to think or feel about these days of history passed, whilst knowing that at the same time such history, which touched so many, can never ever quite be in the past.
Thanks for the reminder of the insanity of such times.
