Aperture
A friend recently asked me to post a black and white photo for seven days on social media. A few of the photos here were contenders, but didn’t make the final cut. Anyway, since I took the time to participate, I thought I would share my collection plus a few extras here as well.

Thank you, Kathryn. 😊 It was such a lovely moment with the sun streaming inside the room and the cathedral (Duomo) bells ringing. 🙂

Sometimes B&W can tell a story that color cannot. B&W draws your attention to the main focus of the photo instead of paying attention to the colors.

You make an excellent point. I️ like the way you describe how B&W photos “tell a story.” Thank you for sharing your beautiful photo…and its heartwarming story. 🙂💛

Ohhh, I love so many of these, especially Firenze! ❤ The last one is interesting: obviously colours are there, we just can't see them, only imagine… I think dark reds and purples and greens, and the light part is yellow. 🙂

You are so sweet! Thank you for such a thoughtful comment. Tuscany is SO beautiful…I️ must have taken 1000 pictures. The last photo is of a Crazy Quilt that I snapped in an antiques store. 🙂

These are fantastic! The dew drops are especially beautiful – almost like translucent pearls. BnW has a way of changing the perspective!

I think there’s something so honest about black and white photography.

I agree with you. Black and white photography can be both honest and powerful. It’s almost as if you’re able to see right through to the subject matter’s essence—no pesky colors to distract from the composition.
