"Our job is to record, each in his own way, this world of light and shadow and time that will never come again exactly as it is today." Edward Abbey 1927-1989.
Black and White photographs have always been a part of my portfolio. It is a challenge finding contrast that work within the photograph.
The art is in distinguishing the shadows from the light.
Too much shadow and the blacks wash out. Too much light and the whites gets blown out.
Finding that just right combination and making it work is what makes black and white so appealing to the viewer.
