I did it-I made the switch. What a crazy nostalgic feeling came over me when I looked at my photos. Most of the photos I took and developed in both high school and college were black and white. I forgot how much I love the look, the contrast the whole feel of black and white. Here are a few of my favorites from yesterday.
The last two I messed with the color-post production, my camera was still set on monochrome. I posted these on the Flare Friday group I belong to also. (I couldn’t wait until Friday!!)
I love this challenge, I am so glad I joined. It is just the artistic boost I needed.
Now for the announcement! If you are a regular reader, you know that I regularly post recipes on Thursdays. I call them Thursdays Quarter Recipes because I used to go out for quarter beers on Thursday nights. It was the highlight of the week and the beginning of the weekend. Now that I am a responsible adult and I don’t partake in those Thursday night rituals any longer, I decided to kick off the weekend with some tasty food instead. But I am tired of drinking alone! I want to host a Quarter Recipe Party every Thursday and everyone is invited!! WooHoo!
I will post a weekly food theme. You can share a recipe, a tip, a link-what ever you see as fitting in with the weeks theme. It doesn’t matter if your a vegetarian, fruitatarian, raw foodist or a meat lover. You can add your name to the Mr Linky that will be installed on my blog on Thursdays and link to PepperPaints Thursday Quarter Recipe page from your blog. Don’t worry it will be easy! So start thinking about what you will post and share on Thursday for this-election- weeks Thursday Quarter Recipe theme
ALL AMERICAN

great idea on the quarter recipe! i’m sure i’ll join in. it’ll be great to have new recipes to try on the weekends, when i do most of my slow cooking.
Those photos are gorgeous! It’s amazing how switching to B&W can change the whole feel of an image. Love those shots. the reflections are so pretty.
The food-blogger in me would love to be part of your recipe party sometime — sounds fun!
Lovely photos!
Wonderful b&w photos! Love the bottom image. The November challenge is going to be fun, but…a challenge! Thanks for the nice comment on my blog.

Thanks-I really like them too!
Wow! Those are excellent! It took me several looks to even see the fish in the fourth one. I love the reflections of the branches in the first two. Thanks for commenting on mine today.
Reading your post made me very nostalgic. In school, must of my photography was in B&W, using a totally manual 35mm camera. I still love the photos I took back then.
I still have that camera and my kids have used it in photograpy classes that they’ve taken.
How do I join the recipe group if I don’t have a blog?
