Leaking Color

Mage challenged me to black and white...more sophisticated and more artistic and something I rarely if ever do because I am a color freak.  I took a walk around my garage to see what had the texture and structure for B & W.  But as you can see I kept letting the color seep into these photos through the leaks of my brain.

  1. I am a 'color' person also --and although I like 'some' B&W photos, I would ALWAYS choose color.

    Great photos.

  2. A great black and white image strikes me more than a color image, unless it's a remarkable color image.

  3. I forget about black and white most of the time, I think I have trouble turning what I see into something else. I really like the second to last shot with just a little of the colour added in. It looks soft and dreamy to me.

  4. I find work in black and white stunning and dramatic. I think it might have something to do with essence, clarity and simplicity. I love good color and I also think that somehow because of the technology available today, the truth of an image is sometimes lost as color is fiddled with and enhanced.

  6. Well - once and awhile B&W - the rest of the time, I like a little color in my life.

  7. I can only follow "one blog at a time" and decided on this one (rather than Room Without Walls) ... dunno why, I love the photos on both your sites.

    P.S. Good luck to your son's friends who are thinking of getting married. My mother, an Irish Catholic, married a nominal Protestant and her family was mortified. They had to get married in the church basement. But they made it work for 60 years. I know it's not the same, but nevertheless, those "mixed marriages" can work.

  8. I think the top photo is very effective.

  9. I am another color person, but black and white photos can pack a whole lot of emotional nuance.

  11. I do b&w on occasion; it can be very effective.

  12. Nice. When I think to convert a pic to black and white I'm always surprised by the impact.
