Although the universe is ablaze with more colours than the human eye can detect, we can also learn to see the world in new ways by returning to the roots of the art of photography, to the art of black and white, and other monochromes like sepia (and bi-level). This photo blog celebrates that spectrum of colours ranging from the darkest monochromes to the most brilliant whites, and everything in between.

Interesting lighting, almost a crescent of light. The blurred image(s) at the bottom-right corner blend well with the almost-visible face just above. I wish the brambles were not visible, but they certainly are an integral part of Vancouver's cityscape. I understand the supportive role of the man on the left, holding the umbrella, but don't understand his role within the picture's frame, though his being slightly blurred helps to justify his presence. And I of course like the use of extreme black and white, with the gradations in between (as allowed by digital censors).
This photo gives me a feeling of anticipation, of being a shot before THE shot. Jeremy is ready, standing on the mark. I like that his face is pretty evenly lit from both sides but only being able to see one source, a bit like jovanna's missing eyes. This could be a still from a Fellini movie.
This was playing with "living flash stands". Four friends each held a speedlight in one hand and a headlamp in the other. Their instructions were to point the headlamps at each other and the speedlights at the fifth friend. The speedlights were all synched to fire at the end of a 15 second exposure on the camera, which was on a tripod. So the light-holders come out as blurry ghosts, while the fifth person is frozen by the flash.
