Emotion of black & white photography

I like looking at the last black and white photos that I've done. They remind me of something I'd like to work with in the dark room and all the smelly chemicals. I almost miss it. Almost. It does get lonely in there even with the radio on.

I would still very much like to continue doing B&W landscapes. I found this photographer a few months back, I can't remember who he is to save my life, but he really inspired me having similar taste in B&W landscape photography and the way we both learned anything about photography is rather similar. I think what I loved most about his work was the contrast he used. I can remember his photos and how they made me feel. They were not technically perfect but they didn't need to be.

Just a little black & white inspiration

I wanted to start running so I went to buy some running shoes, there is no sense doing it with bad shoes. My knees have enough problems as it is.
On my way back I stopped to take some photos of this beautiful field, it was golden, like all of the grass died, but only that field, no field within
40 miles that I've seen was like that, the other properties/fields next to it were a lush green.
But those didn't turn out as I had hopped they would. It was unfortunate but it happens from time to time.


But when I got home I walked around for a little bit, of course that day was colder then it has been. I ended up finding many photo opportunities. And an inspiration for black and white photography. Something I will be doing much more of in the future.
