October Challenge...

"There's something strange and powerful about black and white imagery."- Stefan Kanfer

October's challenge will be easy, creative, and fun!  It is all about black and white photography with a twist.  Black and white can include much more than just black and white.  Sepia is a form of black and white with a touch of brown added.  


Your black and white can be faded, so that just a hint of color shows in the photo.



This was taken with my iPhone.  The man was sitting in a booth across from my table at Cattle Baron.  He did not know I was taking his photo.  I thought he was an interesting looking character.


You can have a washed out bleached look.


or try a black and white photo with a specific object left colored.  


Maybe you like the vintage effect...


Okay, I cheated here.  This really is a vintage photo of my father.  Fred S. Norcross.  I like it a lot, and decided to throw it in just for fun.

Basically, the sky is the limit with forms, or types of black and white.  I hope you will get very creative with this challenge, and find some wonderful new techniques.  

The past challenge rules apply as usual.
