Black and White? Really?

So I had a 20x30 framed print at work delivering and a woman said she really loved it but she also loves black and white flower photos, and if I had any. What?  Black and white flowers?  Honestly - I've never considered it.

So I was looking around for a test victim. I know you just can't strip out all the color in a B &W and it's impossable to tale a digital B&W photo, so you need to apply filters and so forth.

Here we go - my first B&W flower. - I'll have to look into this to see it B&W flowers are something to take seriously - I do love B&W and wonder if there is a market.


The big news this weekend will be the HUGE storm hitting the east coast - forecasters are being very conservative with their predictions because if they are wrong they will sound stupid but 2 feet of snow in Washington DC is not a stretch at all. 

OH - if anybody has my Superbowl numbers can yo email me?  I forgot them at work.  I know I have 2 and 2 (BIG YIPPEE on that one) but can not remember the other ones.

OK - I gotta run

OH yea - the CCRider shots - I'm pumped - lookin good!!!

Have a weekend
