This is VERY unusual for me. I don't think I've ever posted a monochrome. So many years in a wet darkroom left me with little passion to return to a colorless space. Besides, I think that black and white has a melancholy feeling from the start which is hard to overcome...

Hmm...Nice image. Personal, intimate and ... b+w :)<br /><br />Hmm ... history, even the world is coming to an end. Apocalyptic riders, Mark Hobson doing shallow DOF and Ted Byrne going b+w.
