The talented photographers of the photocollective publish large number of images to flickr in accordance to our theme. Each month I will select some of the best and most creative images to showcase. What is important about this showcase is that one image is selected for every city. So go out, create the best pictures you can and you might represent your city for a whole month.

As it turns out, not everyone tags that well,if you want your photos to feature, make sure it has the month-tag so we can search them, is sharable and can be tagged by Urban Photo Collective to tag it for the blog.

We where asked to exhibit by the milieudefensie and Sonsbeek visitors center to provide photos for an exhibition for the 'Earth Day' to be held on April 22th, 2012. We got the assignment, what will make you happy if you think about the earth. Only two photos per member could be submitted. Total, we received 31 photos. These are now on display in the exhibition space. You are most welcome to view them at the visitors center Sonsbeek Arnhem.

Maybe it’s because of the house number, number 42. ( ‘the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy’ anyone?) The first time I went to this post office when it was still in use, I was quite fascinated and overwhelmed by this building. Especially the main hall, which is very, very impressive and makes you feel quite small. About a year ago we got the opportunity to explore this building (which is now empty and called “Post Rotterdam” waiting to be rebuilt as a shopping center). We did some amazing photography, Urban Photo Collective Style, and we went back and back again (thanks to Gert who for some reason gave us the key). The last year we’ve shot some amazing pictures here.

But this is not where the story ends! As you might already know, the Urban Photo Collective is growing up rapidly. There are many exciting plans for the future, which will obviously take a lot of time and effort to develop. So in the last couple of months we’ve spent some time searching for a place to create all of this.. our first Urban Photo Collective HQ.

And now, drums please, we are excited to announce that the first Urban Photo Collective HQ is here and located on the 4th floor of Post Rotterdam. It’s time to get our hands dirty. In the last few weeks we did some serious cleaning, collected furniture and we even went to Ikea (...) and we even got ourselves an internet-connection (yeah!). Most important is the 20 meter wide plan board on which all of our future plans are developing right now, and we are not finished yet! Since we are a collective, you all are very welcome to visit, take pictures, drink a beer, but most of all help make this the ultimate HQ. We can use some help. So if you have some stuff in your basement, which might be useful, let us know!
Let the magic begin!
