Black and Whites

[Sue]

I am a big fan of black and whites. Post your black and whites here if you are a fan too!

[F, Calla & Luca]

I'm not having that problem----yet.

[DJ & Chance]

I can see your images just fine!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

It is the oddest thing and just started with the last few images I have posted.  I can see everyone else's just fine.

Sometimes cold is the story, but sometimes removing the color lets you see the emotion within the image with more clarity - at least that's how I think of it.  Two candids of Finn…
 Here the colors definitely competed, but I liked the serendipity of the moment -- the dog, patiently waiting for me to finish cleaning out a bookcase, "passed out" on some of the books and I laughed at the ones he chose. 

and this is one of my favorites… taken with a camera phone by a friend, the sweetness of this moment was almost lost in a corner of the room so I cropped way in, went to b&w and added some contrast.  Still have a lot to learn, so any advice welcome, but I really love b&w.

[DJ & Chance]

I love black and white exactly for the reasons you given.  I love the light in the third one, and Finn with snuggling up with "Animals in translation" is great.  But my fav may be the first one--its all about "the look" and that is captured so well in this image.

Thanks DJ!  Whoops, "cold" was supposed to be "color" -- wish my mac would stop thinking for me :)

[Lonnie & Libby Lu]

Cheryl, I love the first one!

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Thanks Lonnie, I love that one of Libby too!

[F, Calla & Luca]

These are fine indeed. Love the second one.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Thanks F!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

I think you are right, Cheryl.  It is like black and white cuts to the chase.  These are all great.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Thanks Nancy.
