Black and White In Public Places

Photo Book on DC

I started this weblog to start a sketch book for a photo book on DC with Black and White photography only. I am shooting both B&W and color all over the city but this B&W stuff I intend to be more straight forward .... less stylized than the color work. We'll see how this shapes up but the online sketchbook idea is what I'm interested in trying out here. It gives me a chance to see what I'm up to without having to print.

What's on the Site

This is a site where I will post black & white photos of people, places and things in the Washington DC Metro Area. In many ways the area holds the heart beat of the nation and a lot of what makes up America is here. Many decisions are made here in Washington that impact every American in the country. It is also a place where many ideas and cultures meet; sometimes in harmony and sometimes not. What I'm trying to do is give people a little peak into what I see and experience each day as I work and live in the city. I hope you enjoy the images.

This is a also a site about the beauty of black and white photography. I am starting this site while I am in the middle of a learning process regarding shooting and presenting black and white pictures. What I learn about the subject I will share others and hopefully others will share with me.
