WEEKEND IN BLACK AND WHITE

On a recent excursion to one of my favorite places, I took the opportunity to snap some photos of a really old firetruck that was on display. I thought that black and white really made them pop. I hope you enjoy them.










Thanks so much for stopping by.  Enjoy your weekend!

    Beautiful photos. The kind of fire trucks we used mostly for parades when I was young. I don't remember many fires but you'd think there would have been more with the wood stoves. (?)

    Love these. You seriously should publish a coffee table book of your pictures.

    A vehicle from the "good old days" is perfect in black and white.

    You are correct about the pop. I really like your detailed close in shots. Love the lines of the ladder in the second.

    Great series, Candace. I love nostalgia, and I'm guessing you do to. You're right, the black and white shots make it pop.
    Happy B&W.

    I love the black and white photos. They some how capture the feel of New England's charm.

    Great contrast, Candace. I particularly love the lantern!

    PS - responding to your email has been on my mind for a week! Work has been FULL ON and I've had little time to do much else. You're in my thoughts, though, I'll be back at it soon :)

    Great photos! Love the firetruck - there is a place downtown here that keeps an old firetruck parked in front. I always enjoy walking by it! Hope you are doing well!
