ppg place – 2Eight Photography

A Vision of Black and White

For todays post I thought I would explore some of my older photos post some black and white conversions. I’ve always been fascinated with black and white photography and have found that the absence of color makes me look deeper into the image. Without color we have a tendency to see the detail that was always there and that, I think, is what makes black and white so fascinating.

Hope you enjoy the photos and feel free to let me know what you think.

So tonight on my way out of work I walked by the ice skating rink at PPG place in downtown Pittsburgh. I watched for just a minute and then decided to go grab my camera and tripod and take a few quick shots of the skaters. But as usual, my plans were derailed when I got back, as the skaters were all off the ice and they were resurfacing it with the Zamboni. You may recall, I mentioned having a list of subject to photograph this year an as luck would have it a Zamboni is number 127 on my list. So here is my shot of a Zamboni speeding around the ice.
