nearly black & white


While my early efforts in photography were in black & white,
& many of my favourite* photographers work that way,
( no, I don't put myself in their league), what is closer
to my experience of place is always colour.
I don't know if the faint colours in, say, winter snow scenes
always evoke that cold, or if it just accords with
my own memory of that place. Or of that photo..

*Aperture, Lartigue, Phil Borges, Jack Spencer, Michael Kenna
for different reasons, to name a few.
