Hi folks,
Since I am new to this forum, here are some of mypictures of me experimenting with black and white from a couple years ago. All taken with 35mm black and white film.
#1
When I first moved to NJ from TX, my cousin took me for my first trip into new york city and to the museum. Boy did I feel like a little country boy in a big city! This was one of the first sights that greeted me:
#2
A couple shots shots from the museum
#3
#4
This one came out a little dark. But it is still one of my favorites. Its also a little dark in print and chose not to "fix" it for this posting.
#5
Back at home, I managed to catch my roomate's cat asleep. What a cute little thing! I cannot believe that I actually did not wake it up with my flash.
The next few pictures were taken in black and white. I had just bought my 35mm scanner used and was trying to learn how to use it. I also wanted to learn a little about photoshop so I colorized the flags.
#6
A few months later, I moved out into my first new ( oldish ) home. Nice viewpoint of our flowers with our neighbor's flag in the background.
#7
A shot of a nice restaurant in New Hope, PA.
#8
I love the look of old machinery. This one was hidden at the old train yard.
#9
Finally, one of my favorites. I worked in NYC several months after 9/11. I, like most in the area, were still attempting to grasp the reality of what had happened (my family was lucky ). I commuted in and out of Penn station for a year and this memorial made of parts from the twin towers was there to greet me. One morning, I came in really early ( before the daily rush of people ) and setup my tripod on the second level and waited. Took many shots but there was always something out of my control that took away from the shot. This was my best from the roll. A framed ( not colorized ) print of this picture now hangs on my wall in my office.
Thanks for looking. Comments as always are welcome....
