Monochrome

Color images are great and the norm for most people. ..But I have a soft spot for black and White, and monochrome.. whether digitally done or using black and white film. I usually mix some in with all my photo outings.

All are super nice Al and sometimes an image just cries out to be black and white.

Focused on Black and white pics today. I did take some other pics too but I wanted to work on Black and white I know most people go for Color, but black and whites are still great to tell a story. They are also challenging because not everything looks good in Black and white and some things look stunning. I find it just helps me take better pics to try and visualize it in Black and white/Monochrome.

Thanks Aaron. I know not a lot of people really like black and white preferring color but black and white image can really stand out.
