Why do I like to shoot black&white? Because I want to focus the viewer’s attention on the subject. Also, black and white photographs have more drama. They emphasize the subject’s feelings more than its appearance. The black&white photo gives the feeling of “caught moment”. A moment that will survive the test of time. For example – an unusual emotion, a bizarre moment like in this photo I took from the balcony without too much preparation.
I noticed this mother on the street. She found a way to carry his children… in a wheelchair! I took the camera out of the box and I managed to shoot this picture. The compact group of shadows laid on the asphalt looks great to me.ShaMore of my Black &White pictures:

Wow, your timing was perfect and what a subject. This has to be a happy family. Making the best of what they have. I agree about black and white.
your photos are very attractive so please keep it up.thanks
I agree, you explained black and whites so well, along with the touching photos. Love them both!
Thank you, Kim! I started the black-and-white photo on the film, long time ago. I still like to take black and white photos!?
