These were a real treasure when camping out. Excellent BW composition. V

B&W is the perfect choice.
Love the quote, I just read it somewhere else recently but now I can't remember where.

Perfect pairing of quote and image, as usual! You are good at this. This is terrific monotone image, giving rise to thoughts of camping days and living without electricity. V

A very sharply detailed photo with splendid tones Karen. And a great quote to go with it. V

Oh too bad. Maybe you can get a replacement glass. I like this in B&W. And I do like details on the cloth mantle. V

Ah, I remember old Coleman lamps; haven't seen one of those in years. Taking it to mono reflects the age of it well; keeping the wick (for want of a better term; can't remember what they are actually called) a pure white brings it into the modern era at the same time.
