B&W

This image from a 1920's themed editorial in
German Vogue is just smashing! It evokes
everything which one imagines when thinking
about the roaring 20's!
I love the cheekiness to this photograph. At first
glance you imagine its going to be a nice pretty
image but then you notice the model is sticking her
tongue out, which makes it all the better!
I think I've stated several times on this blog that I love black and white images. I've always believed that they are photography in its purist form; after all photography began with B&W images, not color. For my photography class in school we shoot and develop our own rolls of B&W film. It is pretty awesome to be able to experience each step in the process which goes into creating an image and developing it. Sadly B&W photography is a dying art, people think why should I take a roll of film when I can just shoot digital and then change it on photoshop. Personally, I know I shall try to keep practicing this dying art for as long as I can, its just too beautiful to loose.
