Two powerful new black and white photo essays are now up on ZoneZero: Humberto Farro documents the famous Bar El Chino in Buenos Aires where few tourists venture. With a fifty years of history decorating its walls, this bar resists the urge to succumb to the 'new internationalism' of interior design. In Monsoon, Pablo San Juan from Spain returns from a visit to South East Asia with images of rain-soaked people and urban settings in Manila, Phnom Penh, Saigon, Calcutta, and Dhaka.

Barcelona photographer Salvo Campillo's lovely work is showcased in this site (pity you can't turn the music off though). The portfolio includes work from Ethiopia, Cuba, Angkor, and Ecuador (via nervousroom).

My summer travel plans are slowly beginning to solidify, and I am currently organising a solo photography trip to Eastern Europe (St Petersburg, Moscow, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, and Helsinki) in August, so over the next few weeks, I will try to present discoveries of interesting photographers and photography sites in the region. Suggestions on photography highlights and tips for this part of the world are welcomed!

Focusing today on Estonia, first up is Olga Makina, a professional fashion and advertising photographer from Tallinn. She has a lovely selection of images in her travel gallery.

The Estonia photo club site features the work of ten photographers.

Finally, two local Estonian photographers: Images of Tallinn by Ivan Zharikov and Estonian landscapes by Arno Mikkor.

OK, I'm done...the last of my recent submissions to the Mirror Project has been accepted: the day after the new Prada store by Herzog and de Meuron opened in Aoyama, I went along with T to photograph the crowds and the hoopla! The building itself is really quite stunning, featuring several small city viewing rooms on the top floor...And the clothes? A whole floor dedicated to vintage Prada! Yum...
