Black & White

I'm playing with black & white tonight ~ trying to print some artsy stuff for my new living room walls. I always love turning a photo to black & white and seeing what happens to the "feel" of the picture. I don't have a trained enough eye yet to take a picture and just know it will be beautiful in black & white, in fact sometimes I make the switch and look at it and say "yuck"! Here are a few that I am really liking tonight... This is Duncan playing in the sand. I like his placement in the photo, I love that I don't see his face...I don't think you need to in order to feel what the photo is all about... Coop playing baseball on the beach with Aunt Barbie...love that the ball is in mid air (much easier with the new camera!)

Pruett reaching out a hand to a timid Duncan...I love that all you see is Pruett's hand because that is all the photo is about. Love the shadows too.

Reflective Cooper...just over all like this one a lot.

My printer is printing a bunch of these off now so don't be surprised if you see some next time you stop over... I can't tell you how much I am enjoying taking all these pictures and sharing them. Hope I'm not boring you all.
