Dueling cameras.

Black and white are the colors of photography.  To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.

Sparklers.  (Dried grasses in the meadow.)

To me, photography is an art of observation.  It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.

~ Elliott Erwitt

To see in color is a delight for the eye but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul.
