I’ve long resisted black and white photography for a number of reasons — not least of which is its frequent use a cop out for badly lit color images (in fact, I’ve got 10 tips for shooting in bad light, and going black and white is not one of them). More recently I’ve started to embrace black and white in limited applications. Much of my work features bold, rich colors, but occasionally I’ve shot scenes in which color is secondary to contrast and texture. I’m also a fan of classic Hitchcock films and something of a history buff (it was my major in college), and therefore have an appreciation for the unique mystery and mood found in black and white images.

My newest gallery, Silverprint, is a nod to these influences and features a handful of black and white favorites. Subject matter is eclectic featuring a mix of landscapes, street photos, and some quirkier items. As always, I welcome your feedback. I hope you enjoy this new set!
