A Lesson in Black and White

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If this is true than I had a much more talkative evening than I had planned. This is what happens when I can't sleep at night and I don't feel like doing school. These pictures don't tell a story, they are pretty much meaningless...if you don't know how to look deeper. If my uncle taught me anything, (and he's taught me a lot) it's that you never run out of things to take pictures of. By simply moving the lighting around, looking at items in a new way, and getting on your hands and knees, you can always find something new. Use your imagination, what does a fedora make you think of? Does the story behind the hat change depending on which position it's in or what color the background is? True art appreciators will stare at great paintings for hours. I never understood that, and frankly I still don't. But, you get what you put in, right? So spend some time on these pictures, look deeper. I challenge you to come up with a different background story for two different pictures! Gangsters, old men, etc...Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
