Monochrome Photos Added to Web site

Amid all the bright colors and textures are the black and white images I've always loved for their textures and high contrast.
 




They have a different emotion attached to them than the Impressionistic and Night Light images. If I dare say it, they seem to be more negative emotions. The image above is agressive and abstract with its high contrast, in your face lines. Other images in winter fog offer a bleak view of a Wisconsin winter.
But these images do show visitors to my site that yes, I am a photographer first, then a teacher. A student asked to see samples of my work yesterday and I referred him to my Web site. Then I remembered that I removed the black and white portfolio. It didn't fit with the other images. But the portfolio does serve a purpose and I will add to it from time to time when I find images that fit best in this type of photo.

Students, if you want to shoot black and white, shoot RAW and post process in your image software, not in camera. Make adjustments using levels and curves, dodge and burn and your histogram.
