The Recent Views in Black and White

Naked Aspen

 Been a while since I posted on this blog. Sorry. Mind has been elsewhere. I have taken pictures and most began in color but there is something about January, and February, which begs for black and white treatments.

I will not bore you with too many words. I will let the photographs speak for themselves.

Week 12 - 2017 in Photographs

Day 78

I begun this week with color. First, another spectacular dawn from the studio deck. And then on to the flowers blooming in the warmth of my passive solar studio. First, the Crown of Thorns, my oldest of three, which blooms constantly. And then on to two of my orchids.

Day 80

Day 81

I have been busy stretching canvas prints and matting and framing black and white prints. So thankfully there were things to photograph close to home. And in a moment or two stolen while on the computer playing around with black and white treatments of a colorful subject.

Day 83

I believe the photograph above is of a propane fired lantern? I love its shape but any input on what it is would be appreciated.

Day 84

And on Friday winter returned.
