Black And White Art - Any Medium - Post One Then Wait For Another Person To Post

Ms. V,

These are a series of images, maybe ten minutes worth, taken with my Samsung Phone, up at my brother's Lake, Green Pond Lake, in Morris County New Jersey. Since these were taken with my smart phone and not my regular camera, I used an effect, to help the quality of the images, especially any large prints that might be made. I hope you enjoy them, I did and loved that foggy morning.........

Thanks everyone, wonderful images!!

She went to the foot of the stairs to meet the hired killer as he descended, speaking to him briefly and indicating the table with her companions.  They seated him opposite the Artist.
"You know why I'm here", he said to the Artist, ignoring everyone else.
"I know," was the answer " It's business. I also know, if you sat down, we can negotiate".
I looked around, suddenly seeing how the pieces were starting to fit together, me, the dame, Mac.

I watched a couple dance, the music speeding up. My thoughts danced, then began to line up.
Mac was a bystander, I was the investigator, she had hardly been sent as well by the Artist. That meant she was in on it, or followed me, or both. I gripped her forearm, out of sight. She felt it and flashed me a piercing look.

An image depiction of a "Ghost Ship". The actual ship used for the image is a picture I took of the historic USS Constellation which is docked at Baltimore's Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland. Some of the background as fractal-based and some is mist/fog textures. I added a couple of perched crows as well and converted all to grayscale.

The USS Constellation is a large warship that was commissioned in 1855. The 22-gun sloop was active for 100 years and served in several military conflicts. The vessel also played a central role in ending the foreign slave trade. Slavery was widely practiced well before the United States was founded in 1776.

Capturing the Ghost Forest of Neskowin Beach on the beautiful Oregon Coast.

I took a dead tree silhouette captured at Fort Smallwood Park in Pasadena Maryland around dusk and added a silhouetted female figure at the tree top reaching for the moon. I wanted the figure to be a little surprise by looking like part of the tree silhouette. I extended the image vertically and added a moon with moon glow, some stars, and a comet. I converted this version to grayscale. There is also a color version. Original tree silhouette capture 10-21-19 but this version was processed 4-28-21.

Great Egret Black and White

This great white egret was perched on a limb in the marsh and had just shaken out its feathers. The great egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society, which was formed to protect birds from being hunted for their feathers, which unfortunately was a common practice. Great egrets are large white birds with a long curved neck, yellow bill and black legs. They can be found in wetlands either standing still as in this photo or slowly wading through the water in search of fish. One quick jab of the bill and that fish becomes dinner for the egret. This is a black and white portrait photo of a great egret seen in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

 


A free-flowing, spontaneous, inspirational rhapsody.

 

Igor in a relaxed mood.
In times of less social interaction, I have revisited many of my life drawings, often unfinished due to time limits. This one I decided to redo, it still has some parts unfinished, this time by design.

The changing light at San Francisco.

An image of an old abandoned church near Langford Estates on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

You could say I have an affinity for old abandoned structures. Thinking back on it now, I feel rather stupid, taking the chances I did, going through these decrepit places when they could have collapsed at any time or had wild animals taking refuge there. Many of these dilapidated structures ceased to exist shortly after I visited them to explore and take pictures.

At the time, my parents lived near this area. There was only one way in and one way out and you had to pass by this old abandoned church on every visit to my parent's house.

Next to this church, near Langford Bay Estates, were some modest headstones in a small neglected, cemetery. Not long after this image was taken, while traveling to my parent's home, I noticed the old structure had vanished.

Exploring the Church...
As I started walking across the floor of the old church, camera in hand, a window on the right side suddenly flew up of its own accord. Don't ask me why I didn't high-tail it out of there pronto, but I'm convinced the vibrations I caused while walking triggered the window. When I looked on either side of the window, hanging inside the walls were ropes with counter-weights which at one time would have helped one to more easily raise the window up. Although an unexpected surprise, the experience proved to be a very interesting excursion into this old abandonment.

The original picture was taken with a Konica SLR film camera many years ago during the colder months. I breathed on the lens, aimed, and waited until just enough evaporation before snapping the shutter to obtain the foggy effect.

On an unrelated (I think) but also strange and unusual occurrence, I left my parent's home and was on my way back out to travel to my own home near Baltimore. It was warm weather and I had the windows of the car rolled down since it had no air conditioning. The Eastern Shore of Maryland is pretty much all country, made up of flat farmland. Traveling to and from my parent's residence consisted of roads between fields for much of the trip.

As I was traveling, and incidentally near the area of the old abandoned church, suddenly something from outside shot through the passenger side window. It hit the headrest and in the next instant there were green feathers floating about in my car. When I checked the back seat I found a small dead green bird!

Two things were very odd about this event...
One, the actual occurrence of a bird flying into an open window of the car while I was speeding down the back road.
Two, I had never seen a green bird on the Eastern Shore of MD my whole life growing up there!

For whatever reason, it seemed appropriate to call this event, an OMEN.

I stitched two images together for a slightly wider view, added a texture overlay at 25% opacity, converted it to grayscale, added a subtle vignette, added a sandstone filter and some other pixel manipulations for a little more artistic flare. As one last final touch I also lightly went over the highlights of the clothing with the Dodge Tool to accentuate those features just a bit.

Everyone loves to go to a parade. The uniqueness of a parade here in New Orleans, Louisiana is each organization theme changes each year. The floats are designed by float builders. Each parade may have up to 25 plus floats and more with marching bands in-between them. Each float is designed and built around the theme of the parade for that year. And each float is a page turned through a story, or an event.

This black and white photo of the 1960s peace symbol is a reminder to promote peace rather than war. It was taken in San Francisco, California during the 50th celebration of the Summer of Love. This large wreath in the shape of a peace sign decorates the doorway of a beautiful mansion. The peace symbol was designed by British graphic artist Gerald Holtom in 1958 to protest nuclear arms. It contains the flag semaphores for "N" and "D" representing nuclear disarmament. It was brought to the U.S. by a civil rights leader where it became a famous icon in hippie American culture and antiwar protests of the 1960s.
