I know Mitchell and Sara through my work. They’re both young, go-getter students – and now they’re engaged.
So we braved a chilly December day in downtown Marshall for a fun engagement photo shoot.
To warm up, we stopped inside a tavern to grab a coffee. While thawing out, we worked on some photos there, too, and watched the Detroit Lions lose in snowy Philadelphia.
Congratulations to Mitchell and Sara.
Check out more photos from our photo shoot.
This weekend the North American International Auto Show starts in Detroit. One of my favorite events all year.
Just hope they change up the displays this year.
For a long while, black and white photography was all there was. Then came color, and the color film pioneers, and – like the television – most people went that way.
Recently, I started playing around with monochrome, especially with some of the VSCO presets that look decent. I see what others do with black and white, and have the thought: “I should try that too.”
Good artists steal, etc. But really, it just gives me a reason to experiment with a new process. I’ve toyed around with black and white before, but setting out to grab specific B&W images is something new.
When I finally finish with my first roll of black and white film – that’s when things get interesting.
