Ansel Adams

It's another gray day, as expected. It is winter in New England, after all! While driving home, I decided to appreciate Winter's beauty and possibly enhance it using black and white photography. I would have loved to use my manual camera (with actual rolls of film... how archaic!), but I've found that no matter how much gray-enhancing one may wish to do, overcast days do not make for great prints. So I stuck with my trusty Canon Power Shot (how's that for product placement?) and photographed around the house. I can only dream that Ansel Adams would be moved. I highly doubt it. Regardless, I love black and white photography, no matter how amateur :)
