An old knife and scissor manufacturer's shed roof working space. Dark, dusty with muted light and steel, steel and more steel......

All pics in b&w but the first and the last in colour as a clasp...

Wow! Great images. I like the colour ones just as much as the b&w (may be even better).

Thank you both.
To catch the mood from this old and dusty rooms with the ghosts of heat, noise and very hard work the pics aren't crisp and not too technical. More than a look from the labors after 10 hours of work. Thanks for your comments!

Now I can see the full set - super! They capture some of the atmosphere....always the most famous of steel towns.

wonderful and evocative shots. I can smell the sweat, touch the harsh palmed hands, hear the clamouring noise. Great set, great set.

Bernd, if Ricoh doesn't hire you to test the new camera, it would be a huge mistake.
Not only have you captured the feel of the metal etc, one can feel the tools and parts longing for human touch.
