Academy of Performing Arts

This photo is for Jerry Plume's One Night Stand Challenge. Today's assignment: black and white. I didn't have alot of time for photos, so this was kind of a diary shot, but I liked how vintage this theater looks in b&w.

Tonight was my second night this week at the theater. At least this one was only one town over. Sorry I'm so behind in commenting. Work has been pretty crazy. On a high note, seven of my photographs (including three I originally took for 365) were in two different local newspapers today as illustrations for stories I wrote.

This looks a bit gothic and "Norman Bates" in the stark black and white. Very visually striking.

B&W gives it kind of an eerie feel, but in a very good way.
