While you won't see any good photographs from me here. I used to be the one in the family who took the pics. But in those days if it was a good shot of somebody, I gave them the photo so I don't have much to show for twenty years of effort. And Todd, I just used whatever camera was popular at the time. So not a photographer , just the family member who was willing to do that chore.
But I did get some beautiful shots of my sister who was very photogenic, including one when we are in Virginia City, and we'd run across an old car. She climbed up on it and did a movie star shot which I caught (so I gave it to her), but she looked like a 40s movie star in that pic and that was the goal.
Such powerful photos. The unalloyed essence with no props is my take on BW photos. And how graceful of you to highlight works of others. You are a good soul
I am very much enjoying the quality of images that people are sharing each week … and it makes the site much more interesting than if I only posted my own stuff.
Thanks for contributing Don! I love the type image you shared where "it's just a house" ... but it's really more than that. Now I have to look on the map to see where Miami Arizona is.
The incredible and almost hard to put into words thing about BW is that is works for everything!
There’s a clean simplicity that lets you explore the image and pull little pieces to love - things that may have been completely hidden in color.
Yes, your shot is a perfect example. The backlighting is great, but I wonder if color in the window might have been distracting.
Thanks for sharing ... and don't ever feel like you need to skip a week unless you want to ... I always love your images.
I haven't seen White Sands in over 75 years, but I appreciate today's picture.
Pam, thank you so much for taking the time to comment on these pictures. I appreciate you!

I bet your photos were wonderful Pam. You don't need a good camera to be able to take memorable pictures.
Todd, you are very generous to everyone. What a wonderful trait to have.
Don's picture of that house in black and white is pretty. An adjective he may not be looking for, but I liked it.
Check Marshall's photo of Jamie shows more enjoyment of drumming than my exhusband ever showed when he was a drummer. Thanks!

Very high octane stuff… looking forward to seeing more! Fab going…
Thanks for putting this together Todd! Everyone's images are fantastic!
Agreed … your’s is awesome btw!
Nice to be such creative company. Thanks for doing this, Todd. Appreciate the hard work.

Spoiler: There's no beach. Just a big open pit copper mine.
Those are very different things.
lol, actually, it doesn’t look like it’s terribly far from where we just stayed in Gold Canyon the other night … and yes, no beaches there either.
Even in black and white, you can see that that bride is happier than she's ever been!
Thanks, Todd! I love the variety this week.
Me too … there really were some good ones … very much including your White Sands shot. 😍
Thanks - so many images to go through yet!
