Five days of the B&W Challenge have gone by quickly. Today I would like to ask Roshan at Roshan Clicks to join in the challenge for five days, and link to one of his blog followers each day in addition to his photo. Roshan asked yesterday if he could sign up for this challenge, and I like having people come forward on their own; Roshan is an incredible photographer.
Black and white. When I started getting interested in photography just a few years ago, I didn’t like monochrome. I think possibly that I didn’t understand it. There is just something about it. And now with the last five days, the deal is sealed. Thanks to Meg at Move the Chair for approaching me to participate in this challenge.

It caught my attention, and then I saw another older Chinese woman walking like this as well. I have wondered about this.

I think all five are exceptional images Angeline. I thought no. no. 5 was my favourite, but I love 4 & 3 as well 🙂 I am not a B&W person at all, but these seem to convey feel far better without the distraction of colour.

Thanks, Madhu. When I first started taking photos, I almost swore I would never work in black and white. So, I guess one should never say never. B&W does seem to sometimes convey more than a color photo.

A quiet and slow moment, and elderly woman working down and observing life on the street. Very nice Angeline.

Thank you, Otto. She was walking slowly, seeming to be in deep thought. She ran into a friend and they stopped to chat a bit, and then she moved on.

Thanks, Joshi. I found that the older Chinese women that I asked for permission to photograph said no and turned away from me. I stopped asking after a bit, and just used other angles/perspectives to get photos I wanted.
