"There is a place we'll go where there is mostly quiet
Flowers and butterflies, a rainbow lives beside it
And from a velvet sky a summer storm.
You can feel the coolness in the air
But you're still warm..."

Ira said at 11:27 a.m. on Apr 17, 2008: Magnificent black-and-white photos. Surprising effect they give. Force to work imagination. The pictures of a nature seem more brightly and more beautifully.
Joaqy said at 11:38 a.m. on Apr 17, 2008: DEBRA: Thank you very much. : )
Joaqy said at 11:40 a.m. on Apr 17, 2008: IRA: That's how I wanted it to be. A set of images that pushes your imagination. Trying to see beyond b&w. Am glad you enjoyed 'em. Thank you : )
Peachy said at 11:52 a.m. on Apr 17, 2008: That's what I thought it was... :)

Spilly0901 said at 12:06 p.m. on Apr 17, 2008: Nice B&W's! I'm trying to do more in B&W. I see that I need to use the shadows more. Thanks for the lesson!
Joaqy said at 12:07 p.m. on Apr 17, 2008: NOE: Thank you. Its been a while. LUCE: Am glad you like them. Thank you too : )
Joaqy said at 12:09 p.m. on Apr 17, 2008: SPILLY: You can do it! A good range of tones usually is needed. Good light too. : )
Pkeener said at 12:41 p.m. on Apr 17, 2008: The shadow spaces are what we need to focus on. I learned this from painting and drawing. it is so evident that you have mastered this. Thank you for sharing these remarkable images. So much texture, tonal range, imagination, composition, emotion. That poem is how I feel inside when i am taking photo or sketching. at peace.

Rheap said at 9:09 p.m. on Apr 17, 2008: Awesome work!!
Coy said at 9:30 p.m. on Apr 17, 2008: I've always been a fan of black and whites because they strip the image down to skin and bones and what is left is its essence. Beauty in its simplest, most honest state. And although they tend to look melancholy, there is depth of beauty -- the kind that quiets you to peace. I am simply taken by the shot of the bicycle. I can imagine it in color but thank you for presenting it in black and white. What a transformation! Sigh...
