CBWC: In or on Water Photograph: Garry & Marilyn Armstrong With water all around us, there are always many photographs of things in and on water. Not so many things “in” as for example, fish, but many things near or on… Read More ›

THREE VIEWS, ONE ORIGINAL
1-TO-3 PHOTO PROCESSING CHALLENGE – JUNE 2023 I keep trying out this challenge to see if I can find a design that I like better or at least as much as the original. I like the black and white well… Read More ›
SPILLWAYS
CBWC: Fountains and Sprinklers There are no fountains in this town. We don’t use sprinklers much because we are always being careful of water use. So when I went looking for pictures of fountains or sprinklers, I found nothing. I couldn’t… Read More ›
SIGNS OF THE TIMES
If you don’t know where you’re going, just follow the signs.
FROM THE REAR
CBWC: Back of Things From the rear in black & white. Birds, the Massachusetts Statehouse, a couple of cows, geese, Scotties, people and a rolling horse.
CROOKED AND SQUIGGLY
CBWC: Crooked, Squiggly & Curved Lines Black & white is defiitey the right monochrome for lines, crooked, squiqgly, or just strange.
PHOTOS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS IN LIVING BLACK & WHITE
CBWC: Cameras or Photographers We take a lot of pictures of each other with cameras, probably because when we are out, we usually have cameras. I think if we didn’t take pictures, we might never leave home except to visit a… Read More ›
MONOCHROME CLOUDS
CBWC: Clouds Clouds look better — brilliant — in black & white. Better than in color. These were taken locally, but also over the Arizonan deserts.
FLYING IN BLACK & WHITE
CBWC: Anything in Flight Things that fly naturally on the wings with which they are born — and things that fly by power. All in living black & white.
SCULPTURES, STATUES & CARVINGS IN BLACK & WHITE
CBWC: Carvings, sculptures and Statues, home court advantage in black & white I have always looked for this kind of thing outside the house until it occurred to me, as I gazed at our mantelpiece, that I have a great deal… Read More ›
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE LIGHT
CBWC: Lighting of Any Kind Light from candles, but mostly from the sun. I don’t like artificial light, so for me, almost all the light in my pictures is natural.
BLACK & WHITE FENCES AND GATES
CBWC: Fences and Gates
THE GREAT WHITE HURRICANE OF MARCH 11, 1888
It has snowed every night for the past week but only a few inches at a time. We often get more snow (or rain) later in the day, but every morning when I get up, the ground and the deck… Read More ›
WINTER ARRIVES (SORT OF)
It rained like mad in the morning. An hour later it was snowing like mad. It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world. I processed two photos in black and white. It’s a monochrome world in winter. It’s not a lot… Read More ›
CIRCLES & CURVES | BLACK & WHITE
CBWC: Circles and Curves Curves — including arches. Circles — including a camera and a pocket watch. The nearly round buds of an opening orchid and the big, round wheels on a bicycle.
BLACK & WHITE MUSIC
CBWC: Anything to do with Music I know I have more pictures, but how did I file them? At least these I knew under what names I filed them. Am I ever going to get better at this? Probably not. I… Read More ›
FARM ANIMALS, MAYBE PETS
CBWC: Domestic or Farm Animals Cows, goats and horses plus one of The Duke of Uxbridge. I’m not sure if The Duke could be considered “domestic.” We have weaned him off his Prozac, so now in the presence of food, he… Read More ›
WOODEN THINGS IN BLACK & WHITE
CBWC: Anything Made From Wood Wood in black and white, from steeples to musical instruments and a woodland in between.
SHADOW & REFLECTION IN MONOCHROME
CBWC: Shadows and Reflections I have lots of shadows and reflections. I admit I prefer color reflections rather than black & white, but shadows? Black and white is wonderful for shadows and the best are shadows on snow.
IN LIVING BLACK & WHITE, UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
CBWC: Close Ups My favorite models, a little bird and a enthusiastically barking dog. The dog is my number 1 close up model because no matter what I try to do photographically, he’ll be close up instantly. I think he… Read More ›
