When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes.  But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls. —Ted Grant A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety. —Ansel Adams

This month I decided to do something a little different with the Curtain Call.  Rather than a set of out-takes from the work of the past weeks I chose to bring together a mix of my black and white portraits. I have shared with you, from the first image in this gallery, that my interest in 3D was a continuation of my creative explorations in Photography.  I adore the human face and I use Poser as I would a camera to express that adoration.  I don't believe I have come closer to reflecting photography in 3D as when I work in black and white.  I am curious whether you agree with this conclusion. The full size originals of the images above are all within this gallery.  They are, from left to right: []  Sylvia in Black and White  [ View ] []  Peering Out of the Shadows  [ View ] []  A Sadness All Her Own  [ View ] []  Digging Through the Archives  [ View ] []  Narika in Black and White  [ View ] Some very happy congratulations are due to Mark ( Wysiwig ) on being nominated for Artist of the Month in the Writer's gallery. Whoever your favorite writer is, voting is open for another few hours still. & May you be creating something wonderful on this day .. worthy of your own future AOM nomination! With warmest regards, Terry The images below will take you to a few Curtain Calls of the Past.
