Photography: Black and White #1

Blogoratti May 14, 2015

Quote of the day: 
We see the world, not as it is, but as we are-or, as we are conditioned to see it.
-Stephen R. Covey

 There is something about black and white photography that gets me every time. Here are some random photos I took recently, do enjoy!

Trees, and a plane in the sky

A Christopher Wren riverside masterpiece in London.


Early sunrise peeking through the clouds.


Light and shadows reflecting through


Enjoy the rest of the week!

Peace. Love. Light*

    Sucker for B&Ws myself. Love the photo of the Wren masterpiece (though, pardon the ignorance, I don't know who that is)... the light and shadows are just perfect.

    Love Stephen Covey. I've read at least one of his books for Business Management Class in College.

    Love the pics. The second one i like the most. I'm a fan of architecture and that one stood out.

    Black & white photography brings out a whole other element or feeling. It's raw & moody. Great shots. :]

    Ain't that the truth. We see the world as we are conditioned to see it. That's why there will never be peace on this earth. Do you know what I mean?

    Wow, these are gorgeous photos, even the one with the trees and aeroplane. you really are a great photographer, "Bloggi." You know, the reason B&W works so well is one is less likely to get distracted by the brighter colours, focusing on those areas in stead of the form as a whole.
