Flatiron

Flatiron

For my second Monochromia post I selected an architectural shot. I took that image of the iconic Flatiron Building (aka Fuller Building) back in 2018 when my wife and I visited the Big Apple on our Silver Wedding Anniversary trip. NYC is full of great architecture, and architecture is a great fit with black & white photography.

Pollution ?

Black And White Photography, Ian, Photography

This is actually a measure put in place to combat pollution. Mist sprinklers… Foshan, China, X100F

Mist sprinklers in Foshan photographed against the light — an anti-pollution measure that becomes an atmospheric subject. The X100F and backlit water mist: the droplets catch the light and the frame becomes about atmosphere rather than subject. Monochrome intensifies the graphic quality, turning the sprinkler heads into silhouettes and the mist into a mid-tone wash. See the China series on China: The Final Frame on IJM Photography.
