high contrast

Sometimes you find something that you love so much you feel like you were punched in the gut. That’s what happened when I found Nicolas Alan Cope’s Architecture II series in his portfolio. I actually said, “Oof!” when I looked at these. I love the contrast in these b & w architectural scenes.

In a somewhat related anecdote, whenever I see a black & white photograph I hear my high school photography teacher say, “The white whites, the black blacks and all of the values in between.” She was a little nutty, so you can imagine why I am attracted to photographs that skip “all of the values in between.”
