Recently, on Facebook, I posted a photograph of an orchid. I was asked why I made the colorful photograph black and white. Truth is, I was curious. I was curious how much beauty would be retained if you pulled away the color. I was curious how the textures would be represented without the red, yellow and pink hue’s.
After spending some more time with the question I found interest in seeing color differently – looking past it – looking through it. I was challenged to look at the structure of my subject…the essence. Here are some images that I hope you enjoy.
