Monochrome

Monochrome... the word itself sounds kind of boring, since it indicates a single color, one tone... But at times, I find that shooting in monochrome can actually be more interesting than using full color. Depending on the subject, monochrome (aka black and white) can be extremely dramatic. Textures are enhanced and contrast is much more pronounced. The absence of hue can relay a completely different feel in a photograph, too, making things seem slightly more eerie and surreal. I've been having fun this week around central Colorado, taking pics of cool rock formations as well as various buildings. The combination of strange topography and aging architecture make for some neat results. Enjoy!
