Electra has been collecting black & white photographs for some time now and convinced me to let her put together a diary consisting of that genre. I’ve got to admit, I think she’s done a bang-up job. I have captioned the photos with any known details and added a few appropriate quotes.
“There’s something strange and powerful about black-and-white imagery.” – Stefan Kanfer
“What I love about Black & White photographs is that they’re more like
reading the book than seeing the movie” – Jennifer Price
“I’ve been forty years discovering that the queen of all colors is black.” – Henri Mattise
“Black and white creates a strange dreamscape that color never can.” – Jack Antonoff
“To see in color is a delight for the eye
but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul”
– Andri Cauldwell
“Black and white photography erases time from the equation.” – Jason Peterson
“The world is in color, you have to work at black and white.” – Andrew Maclean
“Color is everything, black and white is more.” – Dominic Rouse
Electra says she has more B&W photos to share.
This is an open thread.

Easy PWB Rules
- Do not “Troll” the Pootie Peeps Diaries. If you don’t like animal diaries, there’s no need to tell us about it. Just go find some other diary more to your liking.
- Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
- If you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks!
There are some pics we never post in PWB diaries: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated.
