Black & White vs Colour Assignment - Part 1
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.

Are you Mrs Ansel Adams??
Nice pictures Sly! Just listened to the show and you mentioned you liked Ansel Adams. My wife and I attended an Ansel Adams Show at the Crocker Museum in Sacramanto, California this last summer (or was it 2 summers ago?) and he sure has some wonderful pictures. It was a real neat event. I bet you would have liked it. My in-laws were like waiting at the door to leave and I was still only 1/2 way through. I was enjoying each picture to its fullest.
Anyway, nice job. My wife also likes black and white pictures. Especially at Cemetaries.

Hardly :-)
....but thanks for the compliment nonetheless, TJ.
Unfortunately, it snowed buckets and then rained buckets all weekend long so I wasn't able to take photos (if it was my camera I'd risk taking pictures in the falling snow to try and grab some shots but it isn't, so I didn't)...so I'll have to postpone Part 2 by at least a week. But I think I'll be taking B/W photos for a long time to come.
Hmmm, haven't visited my dad's gravestone in a while, what an interesting subject for black and white photos - a cemetary. ;-)
