BLACK and WHITE New York

Just home from visiting my mom. Continuing to be interested in shooting in Black and White. Curious.

First, here's a piece I'm exhibiting on Friday night at Renee Montague's studio/gallery for "Going to Town: Eclectic Artwork from the Barn Gang". It's the paper part of a larger piece which includes a slide show, of these photos, set to music, Caprice, from Solfeggietti, of Allen Anderson's. Photos are from my LAST trip to NY.





































And now, this trip.

PURPLE

For my PURPLE portfolio I'm posting all photos of the gladioli that Allen bought before he went to Vermont. They started out as alizarin crimson and have turned deep violet as they wilt and dry.
