A recent article in Outdoor Photographer by and about Gary Wagner interested me enough to buy his book. I like his philosophy and approach to black and white photography, and I’ve found it to be inspiring. He is very clear that his intent is to create art that is consistent with his vision, his interpretation of the scene. He focuses on the emotional and visual intent more than realistic representation. That appeals to me, and I have been looking at some of my older color work, seeing what I think might translate well to monochrome and processing those images. I’ll be posting quite a few in the future, but I’ll try to get some color images out there also.
I know black and white photography is not quite as popular on Flickr, but if you have taken the time to read this, chances are you like black and white. I usually do not ask for criticism, but if you are inclined, I would like to hear what you think I could do better with monochrome processing. I’m okay with what you think works, but I’m especially interested in what you think does not. I appreciate your time and input.
