I have shot thousands of b/w images over the last 25 years, it just command attention. With the advent of digital imaging, there is no longer the need of a wet darkroom - our new domain features ingenious software and quality ink-jet prints.
Not every photograph lends itself to black and white, but the ones that do are good on their own merits - lighting, composition, and tones. For this very reason, I feel such images are better since the impact they have is based on its sheer quality. Phography started as a black and white medium and, thankfully, many still prefer its look even in this day and age of digital and color.
These are not dramatic images, I shot them on the Bridgewater Centennial Trail with the D60 and 16-85mm VR. The Trail should be more interesting for color captures on a couple weeks.
