Category:Black and White photos

All things black and white photography is found here. From architecture, street photography, and nature to monuments and statues. Sometimes, things are more beautiful monochrome than they were in color, but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate both sides of it. Some of the photos I don't plan on having in black and white, but after I see them and go to perfect them, it just happens. Monochrome photography is beautiful, it is elegant yet playful and mysterious. In black and white photography, you get deep contrast and different mood than you get in color photography. The mood change from color to black and white is so intriguing, it adds depth and a story to each of my photographs.
