This Wednesday, I’m going black-and-white…
August 1, 2005, 10:24 PM
I’m going to Washington DC on Wednesday, August 3, and I’m turning the camera over to black-and-white mode in the morning, and leaving it there all day. So instead of railfanning, which is what last summer was all about, I’m going to spend my day on the town for a bit, shooting black-and-white photos. In the evening, when I usually play with some long-exposure stuff, I’m also shooting in grays. No color! Why no color? It’s something worth a try. Something to keep things interesting for me, if nothing else. And who knows… it might end up as a photo set if it turns out well enough.
Of course, turning the fun into a photo set requires some planning on my part, and so we’ll see what kind of things I can come up with. I know that the Infoshop is on my list of places to go, so you may see some black-and-white pictures of DC’s Shaw neighborhood come up, among other things. It ought to be fun.

Quote: Totally unrelated, but I've gotten on this kick lately of referring to beer, wine, etc. as "adult beverages". I think it sounds kind of sophisticated, plus that is what such drinks are. They are adult beverages, as in beverages for adults. See?
