what is it about black & white photographs that makes them so innately elegant, sensual, provocative? there’s an ocean of subtext in a B&W snapshot, so much depth + mystery. i just can’t get enough these days. you can’t tell any lies with a black & white photograph. secrets maybe, but not lies. they’re too…real.
what are you inspired by today?

i agree, something unnamable takes place when moments are frozen in black and white. i don’t understand it really, but it’s beautiful nonetheless.
Each one more mysteriously beautiful than the next.
Today I’m inspired by you.

They definitely do have a sensuality and provocativeness to them that color photos don’t always. I think I may spend a whole day walking around sometime soon, just shooting things in black and white. My spring break is finally here so I have a bit of time to actually do that.
What a mesmerizing group of photos! I just love b&w as well. Happy almost Friday, sweetie :) xoxo
oh, you know how to gather beauty.
I love b&w .
Inspired today by finally having a laptop , warm weather, and selections on 8tracks
I think if I had known Bob Dylan in real life, I would have fallen for him. his photos are always so dreamy! Have a good w/e :)
gorgeous shots and inspirations. i am some days quite obsessed with dylan
i’m inspired by the beautiful morning in LA… loving the last few days of my vacation
It’s amazing how everything looks so much cooler in B&W!

black & white simplifies the image and transports you to another time. i always want to work with b&w, but just can’t get myself to lose all color, but i do like it very much. these are great … i love the people running in the museum. enjoy your weekend!
It’s true, there is a certain magic about black and white photography. Still, it always hurts me to take away the colours in a picture.
It’s funny, as I was looking through the black and whites I was trying to figure out how to word the exact sentiment that you described in your last paragraph. So inspirational.
Loved so many of these photos but really wouldn’t mind reenacting the scenario of the first shot–reading and tea in bed. Lovely.
Beautiful little ensemble, Alison. I also adore black & white photos (and people always look better in black and white too!).

Fantastic selection of black nad white photos – there is something so moody and other worldly about seeing black and white photographs, they’re so timeless.
all these pictures are really fantastic, great inspiration!! xoxo
What a great collection of mixed images!! I am especially drawn to the floral pics as I walked through a botanical garden earlier today with the sun kissing my cheeks… mind you it was in a greenhouse, but the colors and heat still warmed my heart… lol.
I love a good black and white shot (even though I’m usually all about the colour) but there is definitely something mysterious about them and I kind of like letting my imagination go wild and wonder what the actual colours were! Maybe that’s just me!
I love these photos and the mood you create by putting them together. And, goodness, do I love Bob Dylan!
There is something so magical about w/b photos. Such a stunning selection, sweetie
Happy Monday
Muah
I do love black and whites as well. They’re beautiful and so timeless. Happy monday!
What a beautiful collection of images! I adore black and white photography. Every seems so much more atmospheric sans colour.
They’re calm and relaxing to my eyes because I have been surrounded by a riot of colours lately – not that I’m complaining after this very long winter. Have a lovely week xo
just bought a roll of b/w film. cant wait to use it :)
i can’t get enough of b+W photos either. i love simplicity and you can’t get any simpler than black and white!
So true. Lovely pics. I actually have a role of b&w in my minolta right now and anxious to see how they turn out.
They definitely give a very intimate feel…I’m inspired by the sun setting a bit later makes me think summer:)
Gorgeous! I’ve always loved black & white photos. Thank you for the inspiration!
I’ve been feeling a little like black and white too with what’s happening in Japan. But I do enjoy these images. They make everything so stark.
love so many- i especially love images that have a word or phrase on them…
Absolutely loved them!!!
These are all such wonderful images – thanks for sharing your inspiration!
A great selection of images – I love black and white images – there’s something so subtle and intriguing about them.
Just checking in – hope you are ok!!
