When Colors Leave Toronto

This time it was not a project. At least not absolutely. I was browsing some pictures and my other galleries and some pictures that did not find any gallery yet. Most of them were B&W and most of them were Toronto. So I realized that I have enough photographs to create the gallery, I wanted to make for a long time - Toronto B&W gallery. So here it is for your enjoyment, criticism and comments. Thank you for browsing my work. Please take a second and leave a comment or criticize my photograph and if you like them do not forget to vote too.

Awesome gallery. I love the contrast in your images. The sharpness with the higher contrast makes these really pop with WOW power.

Great b/w gallerie, the colors left Toronto only to be replaced with beautiful light and contrasts. Voted
Guest 09-Feb-2007 07:56
B&W is never really that. I love your Toronto photos. The visual texture is very much akin to a charcoal sketch coupled with the sharpness of digital. Very nice. Very VOTED :)

Guest 08-Feb-2007 00:39
Beautiful contrast, colour depths and texture. I love the ominous, turn of the century feeling your photos create. Your Toronto is both extremely appealing and very very scary... I'll be back for more!

Excellent B&W work
Gulam Mohammed 07-Feb-2007 20:36
With the introduction of color pictures, the real beauty of black/white pictures were ignored. Now when we see them, we find extraordinarily fantastic. Thanks to the photographer for produng such beautiful pictures. Keep it up.

What type of film are you using, and printing technique? The sky looks so dark and such great contrast. Do tell...
Guest 07-Feb-2007 08:44
very beautiful in light and shadow
Guest 06-Feb-2007 15:50
Your work has incredible tonal range. Even on a bright Sunny day you have nice tones. Do you mind talking a little bit about your process, be it camera or post-processing?

Your work is excellent.
