 Why is Baltimore nicknamed Charm City?

Have you ever been to Baltimore? There is a reason why it is called Charm City and why it is considered a city on the rise: its early architecture, its people, the arts scene, its relative affordability.

Winner of the 2019 Spotlight Award for Travel Photography in Black and White Magazine, with photos also published in USA Today, The Travel Channel, Forbes Magazine, Travel & Leisure and more, Pete Hendley writes in the introduction, "This is not a guide book to Baltimore, nor is it a promotional piece. This is first and foremost a book of images. It is about my love of the art of photography. It shows the city as I experienced it, and is not about me specifically. I do not have a statement to make about Baltimore other than to say that I found it to be highly photographable, and that very quickly, I was charmed."

"It is also interesting to me," he writes, "that some photographs seem to work best on their own, complete in themselves, like a painting or a song, while others work best in a series, placed next to others in a book or magazine or frames on the wall. Like the photos in this collection, they are altered by their context and they take on a deeper meaning."

"Black and white film, 35mm in particular in this book," he wrote, "can play tricks on our mind with reference to time. We often associate black and white film with days gone by. It can make us wonder which era we are looking at and question whether we have ever seen those old days accurately. It can make us wonder whether photography is objective after all, which many believe to be true."

This is the first publication in a series from Colloquial Press that will look more closely at the art of photography.
