Odds & Ends in Black & White

Just a few b&w images from yesterday and today.

Flags on a porch post on King St. When I saw these I was reminded of a couple of photos on Cape Cod by Henri Cartier-Bresson when he was on a tour of the US back in the '50s. So naturally I had to get the shot. Believe it or not, I actually saw this shot in b&w in my head when I first saw it walking down the street.

A garden gate on King Street. It was the details on the gate that caught my eye.

Ornamentation over a doorway on Grace United Church of Christ on Orange Street.

Cedar shingles on the roof of the picnic pavilion in the Dykeman Wetlands Park.

"A dark night in a city that knows how to keep its secrets. But on the 12th floor of the Acme building, one man is still trying to find the answers to life's persistent questions: Guy Noir, Private Eye." My newest self-portrait, b&w with my favorite fedora and split-tone processing to give it all a film noir look.
