Crowded Places

People sometimes ask of us; what is it that you do Mimi Berlin? You keep posting all kinds of images with all kinds of topics…. Well, we answer, we read these images. Equally important we edit them, not with Photoshop, but we like to combine images to create new visions or ideas.

Like the two pictures below. We bumped into them, separately, on the net and they were saved in our archives. This combination is one we’d also like to keep in mind, so it goes up on this blog.
