More B&W
I was looking at the black and white world
It seemed so exciting
If you'd only put me back to back with that girl
When the night's inviting
With just a little lighting
There'll never be days like that again...
-- Black And White World, Elvis Costello
So once again I've been dabbling in the black (and white) arts, and want to share some of the results with you, my loyal readers. A few of these pictures came from my annual foray to the Carnaval parade and street fair this past weekend (including the first one, which is my new favorite); others from recent and distant travels and outings. This time I'm including a little information with each shot. Enjoy -- or, if you're of the same opinion as one of my nephews who, a number of years ago, told me in no uncertain terms that "black and white sucks!", don't. I'll leave it up to you. And as always, you can click on any picture for a larger version.

It seemed so exciting
If you'd only put me back to back with that girl

With just a little lighting
There'll never be days like that again...
