OVER THE PAST MONTH OR SO I have been staring at a Robert Adams book, THE NEW WEST, which was sitting on a side table in my bedroom. A few days ago, driven by a desire to views the square format pictures in the book, I picked it up in the interest of verifying the idea that the square format was appropriate for landscape picture making.
Why? you might ask. Well, my recent exploration of full-frame iPhone picture making was causing to me to have a few doubts, re: square format + landscapes. After viewing The New West, that doubt was dispelled without a doubt. Which caused me to reference my picture library in search of some of my landscape pictures just so I could verify that my own landscape work, square frame wise, was up to the task. iMo, it was.
Along the way, I came across a heretofore unpublished-on this blog or on my Work Page-body of work, SIGNS (although I did make a POD photo book). As I worked my way through the SIGNS folder-all pictures are in color-the thought floated to the top of the quagmire that is my brain and after viewing the beautifully printed BW pictures in the THE NEW WEST book, maybe, just maybe I ought to consider re-processing them as BW pictures.
So I pulled out a few pictures and re-processed them to BW. Based upon the result, maybe, just maybe I ought consider re-processing the rest of the pictures.
