  3. Very similar in essence to what photographer Gustavo Germano did around a more painful issue: the “missing ones”, young activists, blue collar workers or professionals abducted during the unlawful repression and forced disappearance of persons, established by the military dictatorship Argentina between 1976 and 1983.

    The theme may be sad but the pictures are worth looking: http://www.uglydoggy.com/2008/03/missing-ones.html

  4. My Dad had that car when I was young – Renault 16 – awesome!

  5. Oh no not the Renault 16. Talk about body roll.
