Black and white


I just love black and white photographs, from film to the newer digital edits the values of the shadows is so impressive. 90% of my work is in black and white because of the way I feel about it.

 

My mentor Man Ray used to say the devil is in the details and the details are always in the shadows, color just hides them, so what are you hiding? That impact has sent my life in a direction, one for the search of the shadows, the things hidden from view. Personally I think that is best stated visually in black and white.


 

Maybe it’s just that I am old now but colors seem to be blending more now days. What ever did happen to the vivid yellows of '69?
