BLACK AND WHITE WEDNESDAY

I love Black and White photos. Theres is something so crisp, clean and special about seing the details of a photo in Black and White.  Years ago when I used to shoot with my 35mm ( did I just date myself) I almost always used Black and White film. In fact I had a dark room in my house where my brother and I used to develop our own pictures.  When didgital first came out it took me a while to get used to the technology. Origionally I had a digital camera for everyday use.  Believe me it saved me a lot of money in developing fees.  But for special occassions It was strictly 35mm.  I remember 10 years ago, after purchasing my first SLR , I was on a trip to Rome with my Mom and I carried both my SLR and my 35 mm for a backup.  I literally took the same photos with both camera.  10 years ago the editing tools on the computer were limited as were megapixels. Recently I have looked back at the Italy pictures and realized that there was not that big of a difference once todays editing features are added.  A few weeks ago I actually tackled editing a few of  the pictures from that trip ( I will post some later this week).  Its amazing how with todays technology old so-so pictures seem to take on a life of their own.

There is something about the above picture i love.  First off look at emilees eyes.  They are so striking.

I origionally took this picture for a valentines day shoot. I tried to sculpt her hair into a heart.

As I am posting these photos Emilee is looking over my shoulder giving me her opinion about which pictures to choose.  She asked me to post this one.  I told her that this post was about Black and White photos.

Her answer " its Ok, Pink is an attitue not a color"
