Noir et blanc

There is something romantic about a black and white photograph.  I think it has to do with the fact that all old photos, in the days before digital cameras/ when things were good,  used to be in black and white.  It makes me think of my Oma's house...  My Grandpa was part of the golden era of  Hollywood.  Thus down their hallways are amazing framed original photos.  Beautiful close ups of Greta Garbo and Betty Davis.

Those days were simple and fantastic. Simply fantastic!


Here are some of the things that I love in shades of black and white...


My dog, Owen, what a little gentleman 




Three hour meals in France...ending with nothing but wine, water, cheese and bread on the table





The art walk in Downtown LA.  There is art. There is music. There are whisky bars. 

 If not for the crowds and the police brigades on Segways I would say damn near perfection.

  1. police brigades on segways??? hahahha thats so dumb. man, if they want any respect at all, they should really find different transportation.

    anyway, i appreciate your thoughts on black/white photography. you should scan and upload some of your own photos from photography class at marymount. those are simple yet elegant. simply elegant! lol.
