Just a quick experiment. I always prefer scenery photos in black and white. They have all that '50s atmosphere that made me a modelmaker in my childhood.
Here are the cafe pics in b&w.
Too cold last night in the workshop so I made the doors for Tony Moss's workshop and cut out the main walls for the Ferry Station down platform waiting room. Pics later.
I live in Eastern England with my wife and two mad dogs.
I amuse myself making models, painting and writing.
I am "of a certain age", which means of course that the spirit is forever young and free, but the joints are not always so willing, but I haven't ruled out Glastonbury just yet! All they have to do is improve the music and make it free to get in again and we'll be there.
I dislike pettyfogging rulemakers, lickspittles and toadies, laziness of both body AND mind, slubberdegullions and tatterdemalion flibbertigibetts, modern cars generally, ALL Japanese motorcycles and gin-palace boats.
I LOVE estuaries, sheds, old aeroplanes of the sporting type, vintage cars, British motorcycles, wooden boats and progressive rock music, not necessarily in that order.
I'm ambivalent about politics, managers, modern art and most people.
I like quiet, remote places where I can imagine the modern world has not yet made an impact (a hopeless task!)
This is looking great, Martin...and I agree with you about the mono treatment, I have the same memories of illustrations in old modelling magazines!
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame I can't get a decently sharp shot of the caff. Still working on that.
ReplyDeleteAh, black and white. So evocative. A lovely shot of a lovely model.
ReplyDeleteThe shot could be a lot lovelier. But thanks, Chas. I enjoyed doing it.
