Latest set of images. I’m really, really, really loving creating stunning black and white photographs. A lot can be said and argued for color, but I feel that black and white forces us to really pay attention to what makes a good photograph. Most importantly, shape and contrast. Anyway, the sky decided to play nice and produce my all-time favorite clouds. And, boy, did it ever produce! I happened to glance up at the sky, noticed the clouds, and instantly knew that, not only did I need to head over to my favorite location – the Village Creek Drying Beds – to shoot them, but that I would be shooting for black and white. Below are my two favorite examples, along with the best color representation, just because seeing this sky put me in such a good mood!

Got out of Trig class this morning and had a major itch to shoot. Haven’t shot much at all in a while due to scheduling conflicts, so it was extremely awesome to just hold my camera in my hands and click the shutter. At any rate, I found this old train bridge in far west Arlington a couple of weeks ago and made a mental note to come back and shoot it.  With the lingering mist/fog this morning I felt it was the perfect opportunity to go and shoot the old train bridge. Pictured below is one of the better captures from the shoot. While working on the photo in post, the whole set of images just begged to be processed in black and white, so it was all I could do to oblige. Enjoy!

Decided to get up early this morning and explore more of the old industrial area just north of downtown Fort Worth. Made a few clicks and walked away with some new images to add to the ol’ portfolio. I’m definitely keeping the creative juices good and moist by continuously pursuing urban decay imagery. There’s almost something romantic about the scenes I discover in these old industrial areas. Below is one of my favorites from this morning’s outing.
