There are times, it seems,
like in misty dreams
where a lack of color
brings clarity.
Subtle hues of
shadow and light,
a silent whisper
of Earth’s delight.
Timeless,
Motionless,
Ethereal.
Perhaps the reds
and golds and blues,
the roses’ blush
and sunset views,
obscure,
detract,
the impact
of line and form,
cool and warm.
Enter imagination-
sharp, unfurled-
in the blink of an eye
to color my world!

One of my favorite films is Wim Wenders’ The Shape of Things. The film-maker in that film about film-making uses black and white, because he says black and white shows the shape of things. 🙂

It really does add depth and outline.

That’s a great photo, Cheryl, and wonderful expression. You have a great eye for what works in black and white.

Usually my lesser quality color photos Dan. I should do more of it. I really appreciate the stark clarity of B&W and actually prefer it for portraits. Thanks! Happy Doors Day. Ill be by hour place later. Dr appt today. 😏
