Hey, if you are a Ricoh GR (analog or digital) photographer, shoot black & white, city street snap and want to be published in a book, drop a mail at publishing [at] 51269.net. It doesn’t matter where you’re from as long as you’re shooting GR b/w street snap. The book project is in the works (for release end of 2010) with a number of photographers (15~20). It’s a Japanese B5 size hardcover, pantone black offset print, 250/300 pages, worldwide distribution (online and retail). It’s going to be an exciting project with lots of good artists and a great way to promote your work.
Send a mail with some of your work (include some photos or send a link to your website, flickr etc.). Don’t forget to put your name and which Ricoh camera(s) you use. You can fill this form in order to receive the Progress Report: http://eepurl.com/sHpx
We won’t answer questions in this thread. Contact us by e-mail for any info.

Conversion is ok.
My advice is to shoot in RAW with maximum size and quality. Then you can convert to b/w.
