1980s Punk Rock and Minor League Baseball... (and medium- and large-format B&W photography)... they all go together naturally, right?

Well, maybe not. But we've got new B&W photo features on both subjects at www.bwphotopro.com, B&W photography's home on the Web.

Thurston Howes, a pro shooter from Virginia, made these gorgeous action shots and portraits in dingy Southern punk rock clubs starting in 1982, in the wonderful 6x6 square format. 

This stuff rocks.

Another Virginia pro, the great David Deal, shoots for major magazines and ad clients mostly in 4x5" large format. He shot Virginia's Valley League, a rustic but prestigious farm league, just this summer, on Polaroid Type 55 P/N. This is gorgeous work; don't miss it.
