I tend to NOT shoot people and obviously love architecture as a subject. I seem to end up shooting in cemeteries too; I guess they lend themselves to B&W. I love B&W too. It's one thing to impress people with a great picture of colorful flowers or street markets but B&W is where it's at. I used to love drawing in lead so I gained a sense of seeing the world through B&W pictures.

P.S.- I'm not a huge fan of HDR's. I like trying to take the picture correctly the first time (eventhough that's difficult).
