Something about that brick hallway looks a little spooky in B&W. Thinking of spooky things, I just saw that you left a review of The Halley Branch on Amazon back in August. Thanks!

Hi Trent – thanks for the comment – and yeah – that old basement hall has a certain vibe – and my pleasure for leaving a review – enjoy your writing because you sure do make every word count – and nice flow with idea layers

I agree with Trent, the hallway does look a little Halloweenish. 🙂 Love the message!

Such a contrast between the old and the new – even in black and white. Interesting.

thanks so much – 🙂 and I wonder if the “new” was built as well as that old – sometimes the new construction is shoddy

Your photos are wonderful. I like the b&w approach to this challenge. The sign on the door is encouraging and makes me wonder how often I’ve falsely limited myself, instead of setting goals… 🤔

thanks ally – and the basment lighting was so bad – the pics were almost mono as it was –
and the sign – appreciate your feedback because that was finally my takeaway – yet at first I did not care for the quote because I hate the word “winners” – because when it comes to life issues – well we know the failures and times of loss and setback are embedded in any wins – it’s all connected – but then the quote hit me – in the way you noted:
“makes me wonder how often I’ve falsely limited myself, instead of setting goals… 🤔”

Interesting interior pictures and a good choice to render in B&W. I really like the view into the door with appears to have more doors in the row inside the room. Some how it draws my curiosity.

I think the B&W photos are so much more expressive than color shots don’t you Yvette?

I’ve only used old B&W family pictures, maybe one sepia-toned photo (a real vintage photo) but I went to a Ford Model A gathering last year and did one Model A in B&W … I intended to do all of them like that but my photos did not show the shiny metal of some of those refurbished cars, so I just did one photo only.

That is quite a hallways. I take it, that it’s a hotel not in use any longer? Pretty spooky for sure. Perfect for your B&W captures.

Hi – the hotel actually is in use – but they likely have not remodeled the basement in a while – thanks for the comment and hope you are having a nice weekend Otto
