I converted this yellow daffodil in a recent post to black and white for Monochrome Madness March 31, 2016. I wanted it to have a slight sepia tone and look like an old etching, so I chose a flower with a plain background, intricate shapes, detail and texture.
I originally made this photo in color on September 2011 at Mulberry Street, Chinatown, New York City and converted it to B&W for Leanne Cole’s Monochrome Madness on March 30, 2016.
I felt inspired to revisit some old photographs I took of Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn NY back in July 2008 and convert them to black and white. I am careful of which images I convert to black and white. It has to be for a reason. Black and white creates moods, enhances structure and texture. In this case photos taken on a sunny colorful day become something dark and spooky in black and white.
