Black & White Project

Black & white images inspired the original term "photography" and was coined in 1839 by Sir John Herschel and is based on the Greek phos "light" and graphê "representation by means of lines" or "drawing", together meaning "drawing with light". Black & white photos seem to survive time maybe because black & white has an inherent dignity which is both the simplest, and the most sophisticated of the photographic disciplines. So this inspired my Black & White project and I chose city architecture as a good subject that offers pattern, contrast and in the morning light, you get lots of shadows in the deep city building canyons. So here they are below . . .
