Here are two versions of the same photo, one color and one b/w. A recent thread questioned the purpose of b/w. That individual preferred color for all occasions. Personally I find a lot of value in b/w. I am interested in what others feel regarding these two photos. Comments welcome.
A few photos from a quick trip my son and I made to the Southwest. The content seemed to lend itself to black and white. Comments/criticisms are welcome.
Good photos are story and memory stimulation. That tractor is one that Ol' Man Philpot had.. Ford Ferguson with steel wheels.... I can hear that thing now; it growled and had a whine. All of us kids were afraid of him.... Your photo looks cheery, but I am sure Steven King would use mr Philpot in one of his novels. The movie would start with your photo and christmas music... then start thawing and a woman would come out and take the wilted bow off and then he, the Mr, would appear with ax in hand!!!

That's the start to a great story, dpullum. I think you should run with it. We already have the cover photo for the book! By the way, this tractor is a McCormick-Deering. I hadn't ever heard of one before so I did a little research and this seems to be one from about 1925-1930.

The iconic Steamboat Barn is now nearly overrun by surrounding development. You really have limited options for photographing it if you don't what all the surrounding homes in the photo.
