Black & White vs Colour Assignment - Part 1

Posted November 28th, 2007 by Sly

I *love* Black & White photos - and my current assignment (gonna break it into 2 parts, so this is part 1) was to take photos in both colour and black & white, using my EVOLT-510 (oh ok, Olympus' EVOLT-510; it's a loaner, I know I KNOW!). ;-)

To me, black & white photos tell a much more "organic" story (how "shee shee poo poo" of me). While colour photos capture your attention leaving nothing hidden and weave a more obvious story, black & white photos capture your imagination.

I've uploaded two versions - one using a new Flickr account (will eventually upload all my E-510 photos here so they're all in one place) and the other using WebPics, which allows you to specify the number of photos per line (if Flickr can do this I haven't figured it out yet), giving you a little more control of the layout.
