Macadamia Nuts
“Can I call you?” Those words typed on messenger carry the whole world. In them are nested a shining little girl with golden curls that were way too chaotic to be Shirley Temple curls, a slate gray teen in a petticoat and searching eyes, all the way up to a woman with electric bullion colored hair somewhere between Pikachu tails and a ninja jutsu that might snap out and fry a person if it’s deserved. So this woman in her bespoken clothes, in a tiny micro-apartment in downtown Seattle reaches out with the voice of all she’s ever been.

Blue Heron Gone Grey
When it comes to wildlife and photography, I am a big fan of color, texture, detail, and lighting. But in the absence of color and with different rules for how lighting presents, do texture and detail still hold the same exact value? Do they hold less? Or Perhaps more? Curious about these questions, I did something I usually do not do, I turned my camera to black and white before shooting a few shots on a recent outing to a pond I have shot at dozens of times in color, but never in black and white. Shooting in black and white on a digital camera is almost pointless as taking a photo from color to black and white in post takes a second and does not rob any fidelity or detail, but there is still a point to doing so. Shooting in black and white, you can focus on crispness of details, how lighting effects the photograph (differently than when color is present), patterning, and textures visible in a shot, and in framing your subject, capturing it in an interesting pose or position and one that might play with lighting. It can be a fun challenge, but can also produce some truly beautiful shots.
