Lately I’ve had to urge to go back to my photo roots of shooting black and white street photography. Last week I took 2 days, one rainy and one sunny, to roam around in the heart of downtown Cleveland capturing street scenes. Here are a few that I liked.

I love the rectilinearity in the bicycle photograph. When I was in my late teens and early twenties (late 1950s, early ’60s), I worked downtown. These photos feel like that time in my life: the sweatshirt on the waitress and the smartphone at the picnic table bring them to today.
Barb S. and I were at breakfast today discussing how much we appreciate B&W movies. The same is true of still photography. Thanks for these!

Thank you Lenore! Like you and Barb, I’ve always loved shooting in B&W. Shooting digitally today, most photographer shoot in color and then convert to B&W afterward. That is what I do and often forget then to convert or even consider converting. I have to do it more often! I truly feel that a B&W photo has to speak to you without the advantage or impact of color. They need to be much stronger photos.
