A few BW images from New Mexico





I printed these pictures a few years ago but only recently got around to scanning them into the computer, so I thought I would share them. I also put them into mats and have them hanging up on the wall above the couch right now. I don't do a lot of black and white photography but I enjoy it for some subjects. I find BW to be a lot more cerebral. It's far less emotional than color and much more about breaking things down to pure form and shadings of black, grey and white. This is why I like to photograph a lot of architecture in BW, as well as cars and other types of structures and machinery.
