life in black & white

While writing a blog post about the prints of my first black & white roll of film in ages, I suddenly thought that wouldn't it be nice to have a separete blog just about black & white?

Black & white photography is something I've been wanting to explore for some time, be it converting digital colour images into black & white versions (and there are so many ways to do this) or shooting with good old black & white film (and maybe one day even considering doing my own developing) with my goold old Minolta Hi-Matic 7s II.

So here we go, my newly created blog dedicated to black & white.

There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds (G. K. Chesterton)

I'm not entirely sure if it's such a great idea to start another blog, when I'm already struggling to keep up with all my projects, Flickr, blogging, painting, art journaling, online classes etc. But we'll see how it goes. Right now, it just feels like a good idea :)

Gosh, you've been so busy! Great idea to run a separate blog for black and white. B&W can grow in a completely different direction to colour, you can have two totally distinct "signatures" to your work.

Superb clouds! I think I commented on this one on Flickr, but it's worth seeing again - what can i say? I love clouds!

Thank you, Nigel, for visiting here as well :) I really appreciate your comments on my modest little posts.

Clouds are just so fascinating, aren't they! And I feel that I'm only really beginning to appreciate them now (as so many others things as well), that I'm looking at the world through my lens. I was actually thinking about doing a clouds series. Maybe entirely in black & white.
