Virginia creeper in black and white by marlboromaam

Virginia creeper in black and white

Again with the light, shadow and shade! Ever since the artist challenge, I have a newfound love for black and white. Having fun trying out different things, too.

Need your feedback on ideas for the mirror series challenge. Please see this post... http://365project.org/marlboromaam/challenges-and/2012-05-11
I'm really enjoying these photos ... lighting and shadow is everything. Love your pov and framing with the tree, Maggie!

@litljen You are so sweet, Jennifer! Thank you very much for your comments and visit, as always!

@loragill Thank you, Lora! I know! I still have rolls of T-Max in my fridge that are probably 10 years old! LOL! Processing just got to be a little more than my budget could handle and there were other priorities.

@meisen325 Thank you, Monica! I had forgotten how much I enjoyed them in college and up until about 10 years ago. Then I just quit taking pics.

@cindyrez Thank you so much, Cindy! Yep, that's virginia creeper. It does sometimes bloom with tiny pink blossoms and it is hard to get rid of, but not near as hard as greenbriar. That stuff is my scourge in my holly bushes!
