B&W Challenge
2nd day of 7 of the black and white photo challenge and I nominate Denise Norris Holloway to post a black and white photo everyday. I'm assuming that the challenge is to put up photos shot in B&W and perhaps offer some information as to your decision to do so over color or other processing.
I chose a self portrait this morning because I'm in a little bit of a rush and I had been playing with B&W and the handiest model I had at my disposal was me... Ok, that being said I used this image to convey a women in her sixties growing into her later years observing changes taking place in her body, mind and sensing a shift in how she perceives her self and is perceived by others as an older women. She studies her reflection, is she coming to term with those changes and the fact that even though the best years may seem to be ahead, some of the changes taking place are and will be quite a challenge. I think that B&W allowed me to bring forth or portray that sense of feeling rather than being distracted by color or bright light. (OK, I cheated a bit but overall, to me this is basically a B&W.)
