B&W Black & White, monotone and sepia

I can't believe that I have never seen the Apple stairway to heaven yet - in real life. Love both of these Andy but that first one with its nautilus feeling is my favorite. Superb!

I know which I prefer!

 

[BBW]

Thanks you guys. Below, my gut reactions.

Pete, a profound rendition of this young cactus. I feel a real sense of doom - the missile like image, the toning...and the sense of place all work together to make me think of The Manhattan Project. I know you've got a project/book going and this could be the cover shot - depending upon if you want to give people hope or scare them into action.

Peter, seeing that graffiti in black and white is wonderful. I'm assuming that it is in color in real life and can't help but wonder what the artist would think of your view? It would be very cool to be able to know. You framed it just right - I really like seeing the edge of the sidewalk and the triangle of the street - along with the offending cigarette butts. Beautiful faces.

Bill, you made me laugh - at the end with your comment. No problem guessing which you prefer! Those younger folks in the first - especially the two together look so sad. I do really enjoy the repetition of twos - this pair, the twin "arrow" like fence points and those massive columns. Keeping those windows in on the right was a great idea. Of course the young lady in question, in your second, is quite stunning. She, too, doesn't appear to be at ease in her world. I like the angle you choses for this one very much, Bill.

Antonio, it is easy to see that you and your G2 have had a meeting of minds. Beautiful and moving series. My first favorite is your first image, for every reason that I could list. The final image of the teddy bear pulls at my heartstrings.

This is the first black and white I have converted, originally taken in color.

Really nice series Antonio. I particularly like the first two, but not a bad one in the bunch...
