B&W

This is a B&W picture. I actually love B&W, and can’t understand why I don’t use it more often. I also love the view from our balcony when there’s nothing to see... ;-)

Dit pak is echter zonder enige twijfel grijs.

I think I shot this picture somewhere in Italy. It must have been after dinner in the late evening: while my wife and I were enjoying our espresso and Amaretto di Saronno (inferred), Cora was eating her icecream (proven by another picture) and clearly still being absorbed by it. Scan of a medium format negative film. Substandard quality –thank God for the digital darkroom.

Decaying tulips may actually look better in B&W than in their color version.

This rose can also be viewed in “vulgar pink”.

I’m sitting on an AlphaSmart accessory (courtesy of my mother) hitherto neglected in our Group: it provides supreme mobility in old age, an area to sit and write on, and a basket which seems to be tailored for AlphaSmart devices or, as here, just the neoprene sleeve.

In the eyes of some, this will have to be listed as pornography, but it is true: I’ve been focussing on the part that defines me...
